Nobody likes to live in
23 hundred miles round trip
earth has been around for 4.5 billion yaers,
the planet has been around for a long time and it has the ability to regenarate
economize resources
manage waste
we're part of something greater
Because we're not saving the planet we are saving ourselves
A couple of months ago, I got into my car, put on my seatbelt, put on my sunglasses and drove south. 23 hundred miles round trip.
