Earth Day, Earth Day Cross Stitch 
It 'a very long time that I do not write more, even if it took a lot of ideas for my head.
I promised myself I was still almost six months ago to translate an interview with Seventeen on the occasion of Earth Day 1990 by a boy almost 20 years, River Phoenix.
course I woke up late to translate only in the conclusion of that interview (which you can find in full here
)
"Finding solutions (listed various ecological problems. .. after 20 years are still very current) to all these problems will take time, but I'm sure, will be found.
I learned that If you can not put to work together to get that thing called peace, you can at least do their part in their lives, because that is where we can make a difference.
I'd like to end all wars, but I know it's an impossible task for one person, but I can put an end to all wars in my life. Can I start from myself and try to improve relations with all the people I meet.
I'd like to end world hunger and famine, but a man can not do it.
What I can do is to spend my time, my energy and my money trying to inform others about the plight of poverty, and although I can not stop cruelty to the creatures that live on earth, I can be kind to every creature which is part of my life.
Peace begins with you. Now.
We must turn our minds to not ever react without thinking and ask ourselves what means we can use to reach our goals. Because if the path ahead is strewn with thorns, selfishness, cruelty and anger you can be pretty sure that will not lead us very far from where we are today ... near the end, if we do something quickly.
then consider everything in the light of my conscience to see if the path that I undertook to bring me peace. In my life I have decided to:
- not eat meat and animal products, do not use their skins for my clothes, my shoes or other decorative items. There is enclosed such cruelty in raising animals for the sole purpose of human consumption that if I can put an end to their pain boycotting these products, make a difference immediately.
- Recycle. And to question my consumption habits. I try to use less and reuse what I have whenever possible.
- to say something about what I like and know that my voice can be heard by writing to the offices of government, becoming politically active, lobbying in Washington and participating in peaceful demonstrations and educational.
- Use fewer products that damage our planet.
In our family we have never been fond of parties, but this year My mother asked for something for Mother's Day, for the first time. He wants to help draw everyone's attention to the fact that this year's Mother's Day should be given to the mother who feeds us more than any other: Mother Earth. If facts are the gifts that day, we get the mothers to ask that these gifts are made to the land. We can plant trees, donate to environmental groups or other gifts that promote knowledge of the condition of the planet. This would make that day truly a day to celebrate. With the help of all, I'm looking forward to the time when our generation can work together to create a happy, healthy, clean and friendly. "
I hope these words as you like and hit even hit me.
Happy Earth Day everyone.
