Synopsis:
This book is a mix of love, loss, the past, respect and survival. This
planet we live on (Mother Earth) is in peril, of this no one should have any
doubts. The issue is awareness, and whether, we are to be part of the problem or
part of the solution. What we do now will determine not simply issues of
quality of life but of life itself. If we continue to poison the air, water and
seas this home of ours will die! Our ancestors left us a beautiful world,
what will the coming generations say of us?
I hope in some way that all who read this book can identify with the problem and
are moved to action. No college education is necessary, common sense holds many
answers.
He drove to work sipping coffee from a Styrofoam cup and when he finished he
pitched it to the side of the road, it is only one Styrofoam cup after all. It
is a shame we often think of individual instead of collective issues, for that
morning like all mornings he was joined by at least a million others with the
same thought.
It is time we all hugged a tree!
