Usually vitriolic, at times bellicose; I'm not here to be nice
Each Friday, something to think about
A walk on the natural side each Sunday (or Monday...)
The Apothecary - A place to find natural products and remedies
So how have we gotten so far off course? When the label of ‘green’ was introduced, it was seen as a mission statement; something that would entitle the customer to some sense of comfort that they product they were supporting (which was usually more expensive) was working with the Earth’s best interests at heart. Instead we have simply completed a full consumerist revolution; the label has been taken, assigned a cultural identity and used to sell a piece of a lifestyle that is intended to speak more to your peers than to subsidize an environmental commitment.

I was enjoying these facts until the end. It saddens me to think they may become extinct in my lifetime.

>Lois, late again, no net last night. I have heard that 25 species become extinct on a daily average. Tigers are certainly one of the bigger animals under threat.

The TV program Cosmos just returned this month and I had time to watch the first two episodes. The second dealt with evolution of the species. I kept thinking of the ones being pushed to extinction while watching it.
