I dedicate this page to all those who look up but cannot see the stars, who have never tasted water without the odor of chlorine and who have never heard complete silence. |

Our Fragile World...
The City.....life in the city has an irresistable rhythm, full of sounds, vitality and color. Yet, like smoke on the battlefield, morning smog curls across the rooftops. Its air borne pollutants poisoning the world round us, its industrial chemicals spilling into waterways. |

Not an Endless Splendor...
The Cathedral...hush of a great forest in deepest midsummer is wonderful beyond description. I walk along a hidden path and listen to the silence of nature. I sit on a mossy stump, smell it's musty fragrance and know that as soon as someone discovers this hidden treasure, the silence will change to the noise of diesel tractors and shouting men. It is the beginning of a waste land.
(Please preserve our heritage.) |

Let them be...
"Only the mountains have lived long enough to listen objectively to the howl of a wolf."
(Aldo Leopold 1949)
While camping at Silent lake in Algonquin Park, I listen for the first sound of wolves, but there is only silence. It is late autumn and I know that they are around me. Sitting by the campfire, I lift my head and howl. Off in the distance I hear a response and then another. Soon my wilderness is filled with harmonious serenade. My evening symphony has begun.

Before the voyage of Columbus in 1492, our oceans teemed with fish and mammals. Just fifty years ago, many scientists speculated that the great oceans of the word contained an inexhaustible supply of sea life. Yet today, many species are extinct while others are endangered. Our oceans can no longer boast of the continuing and unlimited supply of protein for mankind. In many places the food chain has been broken. |

Will there be Sunsets? |
|
|
|
|

Will our children's children's children have an earth full of vitality and natural resources? Will they be able to swim safely in a lake? Will there be fish in the sea? Will great whales migrate across the oceans? Will there be a rain forest? Will pollutants and ocean refuse rob children of an earth as we know it? Will there be sunsets only on a barren wastland?. Does our planet deserve the very best care that we can give?
Should we care? |
