Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

As the holidays approach, starting with Thanksgiving, it is a good time to count our blessings. We are so fortunate to enjoy our lives with freedom, shelter, family, friends and a caring community.

Global warming is unfortunately a reality. We have depleted our beautiful planet’s resources by excessive consumerism and pollution of soil, water and air. However, I believe it is never too late to make things better for the next generation. I feel it is our responsibility.

I would like to invite you to be part of the solution, and it is easy if you recycle, reduce, reuse, repair. You soon will find there is no shortage of ideas and lots of resources to increase Earth stewardship. No action is too small, and it does make a difference for the future.

Wishing you a happy, healthy and Earth-friendly holiday.
