Unto 7th Generation

Some say: "The Earth is our Mother; we should take care of her." While others think the Earth is an easy receptacle for our wastes and toxins. How can I, one person or even one family, really make a difference? And is it that important anyway?

We see so much hype on TV and in newspapers on the growing devestation of the earth's environment and the loss of so many species of animals, plants and trees. The oceans are becoming a sewer but when I look around my neighborhood it is so easy to just not see the problem.

So is it hype or is it time to aweaken to the fact that this is the only world we live on and the one we are leaving to our children and grandchildren. I appreciate the teaching of many native people I've been privilaged to work with and study with in different areas of the world. Often they say "unto the 7th generation" when making decisions. In other words .... STOP and consider how this action or non action will affect future generations.

If someone were to come along and dump a load of garbage in your front yard, I'd assume uou'd be a bit miffed yet daily we are dumping and dumping and dumping into the waterways, earth and skies that hold the very elements you and I need for survival.

So let us talk about it and find solutions that we can do to make a difference!

Goes Green and the Childrens Project

Go Green and Get a Healthy Home and Family
 
When I find a site that really needs to get the word out, I like to expose them through our Goes Green Site.

A Google Search for home environmental toxins brought me to the site Healthy Children Project. They talk about the exposures of environmental toxins and how they adversely effect development and health. Some of the consequences are Developmental and learning disabilities linked to exposure to environmental toxins.

The key is knowledge and the ACTION. What you can do to reduce exposure to environmental toxins in your home and community. They have a Quiz and a wealth of important information. Please take some time to go to: Healthy Children Project.

Then the Laundry which later I discovered was more important than I thought. My allergies we so sever and here I had been wearing clothing that was covering my skin which is known to be the largest organ for elimination but also for assimilation of all the toxins.


Whew, no wonder I had such problems with emotions, headaches and itching. So Non Toxic and fragrence free detergants were fully established in our home and center.

Of course we already had green water filters
, had been doing that for years. Pure water is the essence of all life. How’s your home water?


It is our hope that these reminders will help more families be healthy both physically and emotionally. Blessing and please pass this on to all those families, especially those with health issues for themselves and loved ones. Together we can make a difference.
