On this Earth Day, a few statements
worth pondering from three wonderful writers.
While they wrote or write in different genres for different audiences,
each has shared a love for the
land and care for our resources.
land and care for our resources.

“We
are as much alive as we keep the earth alive.” – Chief Dan George
“There
are places which exist in this world beyond the reach of imagination.” – Daniel
J. Rice, This Side of a Wilderness
“It
seems to me nothing man has done or built on this land is an improvement over
what was here before.” – Kent Haruf, West of Last Chance
So, Happy Earth Day everyone. Take a few minutes to do even the simplest things to help save our earth. Pick up a few scraps of paper. Drive just a few miles less. Preserve a single glass of water, or
contribute to a fund working on behalf of bringing clean, safe water to remote
parts of our globe. Each of us has a
part to play, and if you are among those who can communicate to others through
your words, today would be a wonderful day to share some of those words on the
earth’s behalf. She is, after all, the
only place we have on which to reside.
