Today I am planting some flowers for the 94 year old Lady that I care for and cleaning her yard. Calling the city to see where I take her old paint cans or if they come to get them.
With the reminder here from MotherEarths, me and my family decided to plant some flowers in this small town we live in (1400 people). The Mayor is a friend of my dad's and agreed that this would be a great idea. If were lucky, maybe we can get more people in this town involved. ~Wickie

What a Great Idea! (Daily Promises) May 06, 2005 11:13 AM
My Promise Today.
It may not seem like much, but over a period of time it may make a slight difference in the grand scheme of things. I believe if everyone made a slight difference in their lives for the sake of the environment it will eventually make a Big difference. *Hopefully, I can convince other people who are in my life to do the same thing.
I Promise today, to find alternative cleaning agents for around the house. I am going to find natural solutions for all of my household needs. So far, in the last bit, I have replaced a lot of products. But I still need a replacement for laundry soap, wooden furniture polish, as well as an alternative for my hardwood floors. (They get dull and lifeless if I do not take care of them. If Anyone in here has a solution, please let me know.)
Love & Light,
Cora Lynn
(Bless all of your Hearts, you are warm wonderful people)
I parked the evil truck for now the weather is nice enough to ride my bike ! I bought a back pack to run errands at the store , so no need for those aggrevating plastic bags.
You guys are sooooo good. Very cool stuff. I love all these wonderful idea floating around here and will incorperate them in my life too. This is such a great thread.
My son and I are going to go buy 20Gardenia Bushes, and plant them around the house. Then we are cleaning out the house recycling and giving things that we no longer need to people who need it.
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time........................ Now, where to put the body? Kidding
My daughter , Cady and I are going for a walk to see the Lady that I care for.... we are taking a garbage bag to clean up litter on the path that we take.
stuff! Thanks everyone for your posts. I'm enjoying reading them. As you know, Wickie and I enjoyed yesterday inspite of no one else's help in town.

I know!! Mother Earths - You are helping soooo much to get this group off the ground!
is to make sure that I give out any information to anyone who asks about a stone's properties, how their energy works, or 'seeing' the future for them using the stones.
I have made this promise 20 years ago, and I am still keeping it.
I promise to get a neighborhood cleanup going after last nights storm... and for people that have mulchers to mulch instead of putting the limbs out to the curb...
I haven't had a lot of time to address this in group thread lately.
Here is my daily promise.
Today & everyday, I promise to leave as little of a footprint as possible.
Last year I went 100% organic in my yard & garden.
I have switched 98% of my house hold cleaners to natural eco-friendly cleaners.
I'm currently working on converting all of my personal hygiene items to all natural, eco-friendly products. (Getting my hubby to use different items...Maybe that will come sooner rather than later.)These include trying to make some on my own. So I may reuse packaging. Like bottles & such.
That taps in on my biggest struggle, reusing more items, instead of just recycling them...
All of which I work on daily.
I also promise to share what I know with others. Of course I do these things anyway. But I promise. Here it is in writting for all to see.
Almost forgot... And the daily clicks go without saying! May 11, 2005 11:41 AM
I honestly feel guilty, if I don't do ALL of my clicks everyday. (takes me almost an hour...)
I went to the mountains with my husbands family last year. I could not get to a computer for a week. I didn't like, not being able to do my clicks. (Everyone deserves a vacation. I just felt like, I wasn't doing something I knew I should be doing.)
Today (tomorrow it's 9:48pm), I'm going to plant flowers in the yard (sunflowers), one for every person I'm missing in this world....Mom you're getting the Mammonth Sunflower, I miss you!!
[report anonymous abuse]

Yes I will. I've never planted sunflowers before....I'm not sure when they will bloom. I was given the seeds by MeMe's mom. She's the one that suggested that the Sunflowers would be the best to plant for them. Now I'm going to have to look up the way to care for them, but they are worth all my time. I'm going to have to plant one in your honor Joan!!! I love you!
My promise today Is to bring all my metal recycling to the recycling place and also I have tons of little trees comming up in my yard I am going to put them in little pots and give them away to be planted
And see the peaceful trees extend their myriad leaves in leisured dance— they bear the weight of sky and cloud upon the fountain of their veins. - Kathleen Raine, Envoi

To the girl who wanted a wood floor polish my grandmother used to make a gorgeous polish out of eucalyptus oil, lavender oil and grated bees wax.

Help protect Ecuador from Ascendant Copper Corporation
In May of 2004 Ascendant Copper illegally purchased the Junin mining concession in the Intag region of Ecuador’s Toisan Range, one of the world's most biologically diverse areas. The impact of mining in the region would include relocation of hundreds of families, contamination of rivers and streams with heavy metals, and massive deforestation which would impact the habitat of dozens of mammals and birds facing extinction. In order to gain financing and legitimacy for this corrupt project, the company has applied for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Please send a message to the Toronto Stock Exchange asking them to fully investigate Ascendant Exploration, and its parent company, Ascendant Exploration Holdings before making a decision to list the company
House Bill Proposes Savage Cuts in Land Protection Funding
U.S. House of Representatives
203 Cannon House Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20515-0001
Subject: Interior Appropriations bill
Dear Representative Paul:
I write in regard to the Interior Appropriations bill. Of greatest concern to me is the fact that the bill reported by the committee essentially zeroes out funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and drastically reduces funding for the Forest Legacy Program.
Taken together, these two programs are the best tools available to us to ensure that burgeoning population and sprawl do not consume our most important environmental and recreational lands. It is profoundly shortsighted to gut these programs at a time when sprawl accelerates.
I also urge you to support several conservation amendments likely to be offered during floor debate. One, an amendment by Reps. Chabot and Andrews, would eliminate the outrageous subsidy taxpayers give to logging companies by paying for new logging roads in America's largest national forest, the Tongass in Alaska.
The Tongass is a wonderland of wildlife habitat, important to fishers, hunters, Native people and local communities. More roads and clearcuts can only harm them. Already the Tongass has more than 5,000 miles of roads and the timber available from existing roads is more than adequate to supply local mills.
Last year, taxpayers spent $48 million for logging and road building on the Tongass, but took in only $800,000 from logging companies in return. Over the next decade, if the Forest Service carries out its logging plans, the cost could exceed $1.2 billion. It is long past time to stop subsidizing timber companies to ravage one of our great national treasures.
Here are other amendments I strongly urge you to support:
- One by Rep. Alcee Hastings to help to help ensure environmental justice for low-income and minority communities; and - One by Reps. Bart Stupak and Clay Shaw to prevent the EPA from making final its proposed weakened sewage dumping policy.
Right now I'm going to be in and out for about the next 2 weeks.... my little brother and his wife are here.... so, I might be having to promise to give them help (smiling)...... will do my best to keep posting...

Save Belize's Rainforest from Fortis' proposed dam
The Macal River Valley in western Belize is one of the most pristine and fragile habitats in Central America. It is home to more than a dozen rare and endangered species, including the jaguar, tapir, howler monkey, and the Scarlet Macaw -- fewer than 200 of these birds are left in Belize. Plans by Fortis Inc., a Canadian company based in Newfoundland, to build a hydro-electric dam in this unique habitat could destroy this wildlife haven forever -- unless you act now.
SIGN OUR PETITION to save Belize's Rainforest from Fortis' proposed dam!
Geological problems continue to plague construction--Fortis refuses to release final designs, hydrological studies or cost of dam project. Meanwhile, destruction of wildlife is rampant, with no sign of legally-mandated wildlife studies.
Ask Fortis to tell the full truth now: Take Action
World Conservation Congress Demands Accounting on Chalillo Dam
In November 2004, more than sixty countries, and hundreds of conservation organizations at the World Conservation Congress in Bangkok Thailand passed an international resolution calling on the government of Belize to establish an independent commission to investigate the economic and environmental impacts of the Chalillo project. To date, Fortis and the government of Belize have shrouded construction in secrecy and refuse to allow investigation into wildlife or economic impacts.
January 2004 Privy Council split decision allows dam construction to continue: bacongo-adv-decision.rtf

The planet's temperature increased 1.5 degrees C since the mid 19th century, two-thirds of which occurred before 1940, when carbon dioxide emissions by humans were minimal. Since 1979, carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels have risen 19%; yet the planet cooled 0.09 degree C during that period. One must seriously ask how the earth's temperature rose before human-caused CO2 was put into the atmosphere? This is a case of an effect coming before the cause.
The chief hothouse gas is water vapor-not carbon dioxide or methane. It accounts for over 90% of global heat retention. Currently, human activity puts about 6 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere per year. Non-human activity, mostly volcanoes, accounts for about 200 billion tons. Human activity, then, constitutes 2-3% of carbon dioxide, which itself is less than 10% of the total. As professor of physics at Purdue University L. van Zandt said in the National Review:
Human activity, carried out at the present rate indefinitely (more than 12 years) cannot possibly account for more than 6 per cent of the observed change in CO2 levels. Entirely shutting off civilization-or even killing everybody-could only have a tiny effect on global warming, if there is any such thing.1 He went on to say:
Why do all these supposedly educated, supposedly sane people want to end civilization? Since humanity can't possibly be causing the CO2 level to go up, isn't it time to start wondering about what is?
tody I will lite a candle for mother Earth and man kind to come to his senses
Earth Mother, Giver of life Strengthen me during my life-long strife. Teach me your ways of perfect love, peace, and wisdom true. Spawn from my purest heart These words to you May this prayer help me to better myself in word and deed, To a higher plane I shall succeed. Beautiful light of goodness fair Lore of old we both do share A Witch's brew, I drink to you My love for you, by day, by night In thought and in sight Will my soul learn the meaning of this life again.
Today I will try to spread the word to heal the earth
I will click click click
I will keep my candle burning
for mother Earth and man kind to come to his senses
I promise to try to be strong, and true to my beliefs. I also promise to try to share my true beliefs, without fear of ridicule.

My Promise for today is to be more open, and less afraid. My promise for today is to be more of who I am inside without fear of what others may think of how I feel. My promise today is to teach our children to allow their true voices speak, and to help them learn, as I learn along with them, that when we speak our truths, there will be ears to hear them, and hearts to respond to them, all we need to remember is to believe, and to keep on trying . These are my promises for today.
