There is a chap who comes into the gym at 06:00 each day and he always carries with him a bag in which he places litter that he picks up during his walk to the gym. He is well-to-do, owns his own business but does not consider it below him to pick up other folks garbage. By his example a number of other patrons at the gym now do the same thing. (including myself). Kindess begets kindness.

That really is a marevllous quote Hana.

Thanks for the great quote. I'm going to put that on Twitter! Have a good night. CJ

Thanks CJ.

Here's a wonderful quote I just came across and thought I'd share it with the rest of you.

"The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard."

-- Gaylord Nelson, former Governor of Wisconsin and co-founder of Earth Day

What a lovely image--a blessed grandma proudly hanging her granddaughter's diapers in the breeze. Hug her lots. CJ

Thanks CJ and Craig! Smiles are good!

Laura's doing well. She motivates me to be even more kind to the environment, because this is now her world too! Hung her diapers on the line again today and felt so blessed as I did it.

What great fun Hana. Your talent for weaving words has put a smile on my face.

Great poem, Hana! You are such a wordsmith. I hope all is well with you. How is that gorgeous grandbaby? Hope to talk soon. Hugs, CJ

Just a fun take on being kind to the environment:

Going Green

Green to you
And green to me
Perhaps we see
Quite differently

Perhaps to you
Green’s kind of blue
A teal-ish kind of
Crayon stew

While green to me
Comes from my heart
Cloth grocery bags
Are just a start

Or light bulbs
In peculiar shapes
Or hanging up
Some thermal drapes

But when my green
Gets really sticky
Is when I wash
Cloth diapers – icky

I hang them up
On lines to dry
Save the earth?
I really try

Convenience
Is so passé
Recycle now
Don’t throw away

The landfills
Soon will overflow
With diapers, trash
And things that glow

With plastic bottles
Glass and cans
Old TVs
And broken fans

The time is now
To do our part
Let’s go for green
At least, let’s start

It's so true Hana. The environment really does gift us with its own kindness. good for you for making use of washable dryers and for using a clothes line.
One of my earliest childhood memories is the sound of the sheets snapping on the line at my gran's farm. Now, of course, we are making use of the old ways.
