About Me I have been told that I am an idealist...haven't figured out if that is a good or bad thing yet. I am independent and tend to speak my mind about most things. I am very open and honest, easy going and have a good sense of humor. I like to do new and exciting things and enjoy nature and animals. I am dedicated to protecting the environment and the animals within it. I enjoy meeting new people that share my interests.

Those who wish to pet and baby wild animals "love" them. But those who respect their natures and wish to let them live normal lives, love them more. ~Edwin Way Teale, Circle of the Seasons, 1953

If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos. ~Edward O. Wilson

The word "wilderness" occurs approximately three hundred times in the Bible, and all its meanings are derogatory. ~René Dubos, The Wooing of Earth, 1980

We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect. ~Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac

The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future. ~Marya Mannes, More in Anger, 1958

Modern technology
Owes ecology
An apology.
~Alan M. Eddison
