"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day

RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.

Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

On a lighter note

A conversation between Tuks and Ve in the back seat while driving to get my tires changed.

Tuks: Mama, see the squirrel!!

Me: Yes, Look at that squirrel..COOL!!

Tuks: Ve, see the squirrel?

Ve: Wi

Tuks: Can you say squirrel? S Q U I R R E L (said nice and slow and pronounced well)

Ve: Squirrel!

Tuks: There you go Ve, good job!!

As you may have surmised, we are constantly feeding Ve new English words, thus Tuki helping out as well.

That is so cute. Sam likes to teach Wil new words too, the funny thing is he tries to teach him the wrong way to say it. He will be sitting at the table eating and will point at it and say "look Wil, this is a tavle, can you say tavle?"...it is pretty cute.
