Earth care
Over the last decade there has been a
growing awareness of the "environment" and the world in which
live. It is reassuring to listen to some young children talk and see their
level of appreciation and regard for our Earth. Earth care is all about
this. How we can live on this Earth in both an ecological and sustainable
manner. We are all aware that quality of life is not just about now but
also the future. Ensuring we do what ever we can to live in harmony with
the Earth will ensure that not only our kids but our kid's kids will also
have the highest quality of life that the Earth can offer.
Here we will provide information about how
each of us at grass roots level can contribute in a very real way to care
for the Earth. As with many things in life it is the little things which
often evolve to have the greatest impact. As one excellent Australian
songwriter put it "From little things big things grow". We
believe that we can all make a difference and the information here will
provide alternatives and options for those of us that would like to get
involved.
The
earth is my mother,
I shall not want.
She makes me lie down in the soft green grass by the riverside.
She sings to me with tenderness,
And my soul is restored.
She leads me down the paths of remembering for Gaia’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of depression and despair
I will fear not,
For the earth holds me.
Her waters and her winds,
they comfort me.
She prepares a safe place of rest for me in the presence of my worries.
She annoits my body with her touch,
My heart runs full.
Surely abundance and grace shall sustain me all the days of my life,
And I shall dwell in the arms of the earth forever.
Earth
