Everyday, every moment, we have the choice to take actions that foster or destroy, that build community or tear them apart, that conserve beauty or spread ugliness. Every moment of our lives we are faced with the choice to participate in killing this Planet and all that calls it home, or to stand up and fight against those that do.
“There was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings ... Then a strange blight crept over the area and everything began to change ... There was a strange stillness ... The few birds seen anywhere were moribund; they trembled violently and could not fly. It was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of scores of bird voices there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields and woods and marsh.”
- Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
