Probably the best way to describe earth today. It was overwhelming to see so many posts on #Earthday, promising all good things, but often such promises get lost in the face of everyday humdrum. People ask ‘What difference can I make when the mighty cogs of policy and politics are still focussed towards drilling for fossil fuels?’
But we all CAN make a difference. If we know about the impact we have on our species and ecosystems, we CAN offset a whole lot through our lifestyle choices. The choices we make MATTER; to the animals, plants, people and our planet. Here are 5 suggestions
1. Eat less meat. It means less land for animal husbandry which equates to more forests! Did you know that 1 cheeseburger costs 66 gallons of water to produce? ONE burger.
2. Reuse. #Recycle. All. The. time. Don’t use plastic unless you ABSOLUTELY have to.
3. Say NO to products DIRECTLY responsible for decimating our rainforests. Palm oil is a good example. Often disguised as vegetable oil or any of its 20 other names, WWF advises consumers to look for the RSPO label or the Green Palm Label to ensure the product is sustainably sourced 🌴
4. Say NO to products with a large carbon footprint –just check the label about the product’s origin. Do you really need tomatoes from Brazil every day?
5. Say NO to all #wildlife products – no to shark fin soup, no to whale meat, no to ivory trinkets, no to tiger bone wine and no to bear bile
It’s unreasonable for us to give up all ways of modernity & make drastic changes overnight. But, smaller changes can reap benefits if done conscientiously & consistently. We all need to pick the things we will do from now on and stick to them. It’s also time to have these conversations with friends & family, even if they become prickly. #letsdothis
FYI - this is #jokulsarlon in #Iceland, where you can see massive icebergs breaking away from the Vatnajokull glacier and melting into the Atlantic. A microcosm for our warming world. Beautiful & haunting

1/31/2018-Pops of Color. I wanted to try taking photos of pencils in a little different way. I moved about a year ago to a small farm and my photography gear and art supplies have been in the basement. Since I have decided to do a 365 I needed some gear to make sure I got the most out of it. I found my tripod, my shutter release, and my art box full of little props. I am not a color person lol, I have accepted that about my personality. If I could I would keep every picture in BW. I have really pushed myself to incorporate color into my photography and life. I feel like this accurately portrays that.
Setup: White wood floor, see through paper with design on it, a vase to put the can on, and pencils. To create the white boca inside the can I made sure that the pencil's label/info was visible.
I love this in so many ways :) Hope your enjoying your day.
Love and forgiveness keeps me going strong.
ODC Pens and Pencils. Happy to be back in this group!

The nations of the earth prepared for war; world supremacy was on their minds. Flashes of lightning, roars of thunder, and hundred pound hailstones fell from the sky. The worst earthquake in human history shook the world to its core. Every island sunk, every mountain crumbled, and every city collapsed. Then the Beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies marched out for the Battle of Armageddon. Fire burned before them, and blood, fire, and billows of smoke followed behind them. They surrounded Jerusalem, and the city was captured. The light of the sun and the moon were darkened, and the stars did not shine. When the next day came, the daylight remained darkened. It was a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. It was a unique day, with no difference between day and night. But mark my words, when evening comes, there will be light!

"This Saturday, May 12, US letter carriers pick up donations of food that people have set out by their mailboxes. These donations are brought back to the Post Office and loaded unto trucks provided by local food pantries."
"Sixteen percent of all Americans are at risk of hunger—uncertain where their next meal may be coming from. That includes 1 in 5 children under the age of 18, plus 4 million seniors who are forced every day to choose between paying a utility bill and buying food."
(nalc.org)
Be sure to set out your non-perishable food-including pet food-near your mailbox so letter carriers like my hubby can help feed the hungry!
*I'd love to see my Flickr friends post images of food to remind others of the NALC Food Drive*
