I created the photo above, using my photo you see below, and adding to it using PicMonkey free Stock photos. The trees are part of the park, we walk Beau in on weekends. A green space full of trees, a part of our earth that is as close the walking in the woods on our planet earth, while living in a city.
Humans simply cannot learn to leave our forests alone. Greed by humans is quickly destroying the green environment we need to survive.
Today is Earth Day and this is a reminder to us to remember to do what WE CAN DO to preserve this earth. Our Earth will never rejuvenate without our help.
Saturday AM, I rolled into Wal-Mart parking lot and as I pulled to a stop, outside my window was a large blue box, left behind after someone emptied the beer and left it sitting in the parking lot.
The worse part of seeing that was as I walked inside, I counted NINE BLUE BOXES all in different parking spots.
When I left, the young man who cleans the parking lot, was picking up the boxes. I said, there must have been a sale of that type of beer and he replied. No, the college students do this, they come in several cars, buy what they want, transfer into coolers and leave the trash behind.
He also said, you will not believe the things I find that people sit out of their cars. He went into a rant about picking up full plastic bags of garbage from homes, Walmart bags filled with trash from the car and left sitting in the parking spot, bottles and boxes and anything they buy and open, they toss the containers on the pavement and leave.
I found this poem, Save Our Planet by Clive Blake on All Poetry
Ban the bomb!
Save the whale!
Please don't step on
That poor snail.
Help the ozone;
Retain your wind,
Don't use aerosols;
They should be binned.
Pesticides are bad,
Composting's good,
And only use soft
Sustainable wood.
Leave forests alone,
Stop 'slash and burn',
From our past mistakes ...
Can’t we all learn?
Save endangered species,
Give them some space,
Help them compete
In an unequal race.
Recycle your waste,
Throw nothing away,
It'll come in useful
One fine rainy day.
Single-use plastic
Is clogging the seas,
We must all change our ways
For our planet’s sake – please.
