It’s Earth Day!

Humans v Nature. Boulder, Colorado, 2012

And it ought to be “Earth Century” rather than merely Earth Day! We really need to give that kind of priority to our delicate nest.

It seems that every new study or bit of news about climate change and ocean acidification is saying essentially, “You know what, gang, it’s worse than we thought.”

People scream “Save the Planet”, but that really isn’t accurate and it isn’t the true issue. You see, Mama Earth will eventually have the last gurgling chuckle and work out a new equilibrium–with or without us. It’ll just take her a slight shrug of her tectonic shoulders.

So, the battle cry should actually be, “Save the Earth and a Few of Us Humans Beans, Too!”
