Right Now

It was Mark Twain who said: "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."
We live on credit and we have lived on credit for a long time now. I'm not talking about bank loans, but the other much larger credit that we all share. We owe the world.
For example: If you make a fire to warm yourself, do you also plant a new tree to replace the wood you burned? Probably not. I know I don't. We should, but somehow it becomes someone elses problem although -ultimately- it is up to every single one of us to take responsibility. Don't wait for your governement to do something because it probably won't. Instead give a thought to what actually happens to all those things you throw away, where does it all go? Is there any way you can create less rubbish by shopping differently? Do you really have to use your car as much as you do? If you do, then how do you drive it? And what kind of car do you drive?
I believe we were meant be the gardeners of our world and not the rulers of it.
If you want to change but don't know how then find out! There are two great resources at the bottom of my webpage. Take a little time and click on them to find out what you can do.
Life is always right now, this moment. Don't waste it, do something. Now.
