Don’t blow it – good planets are hard to find. ~Quoted in Time

I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend? ~Robert Redford, Yosemite National Park dedication, 1985

Your grandchildren will likely find it incredible – or even sinful – that you burned up a gallon of gasoline to fetch a pack of cigarettes! ~Paul MacCready, Jr.

One year old you are today

And moving forward on your climb

To three and six and ten years old

Days that seem so far away

But will be here without delay.

Still there will never be a time

When innocence is more sublime

And you face brighter with love.

As you wonder

Why strangers adore you

And where do they go

When they walk out the door

And fall off the edge of the world.

This place

Is for dead grass

Not my blood

And racing heart.

I will eat

Until it is gone

And once again

Fly before the lion as I pray before the sun.
