UNDER CONSTRUCTION CHECK BACK OFTEN
The natural world is often taken for granted, people rarely see the beauty or hear the music that is provided to us on
a daily basis. In older times the earth's inhabitants had a healthy respect for nature and the world; they needed
to, they thrived only if their crops or livestock thrived. The respected the land, the loved the land, and
they feared the land. Today we tend to ignore the land.
Nature's Minutes' mission is to bring back a respect for the world and to get my little two cents worth into
the growing respect for the earth, nature and the environment and to hop on the "Going Green" wagon. My mission is to
educate and teach others to do the same.
There is a saying that "one voice can change the world" and I believe that "one minute can save the world."
One Minute
by Deanna Anderson (c) 2011
They say that "one voice can change the world"
but I believe that one minute can save the world.
.
One
minute to stop and think about what that trash will do
and how long it stays when it's tossed on the ground.
One
minute to send an email or pay online instead
of wasting paper made from our trees.
One minute to read a website
filled with tips on how you
can help save the world or preserve a species.
One minute to slow down and not hit an
animal crossing
the road to find food or return to family.
One minute to pick up trash someone else carlessly left
behind
and toss it in the trash.
One minute to seperate the plastic from the glass,
the tin cans from the aluminum, the
hazardous from the non-hazardous.
One minute to open a packet of seeds and settle
them in a pot of dirt, adding
water and sunlight.
One minute to educate the young, the old, and the
in-between on what it means to reduce, recycle,
or reuse.
One minute to pause before buying a product and asking,
"Is the packaging recyclable?"
One minute
to look at something old and figure
out how to use it as something new.
One minute to step outside of four walls, take a deep breath,
and look at the sky, the grass, and the
trees.
And like that one voice, that one minute used by thousands
of people equals thousands of minutes
And that is something that can save the world.
