I remember the first Earth Day, April 1970. We gathered in Fairmont Park in Philadelphia, local bands entertained us with music from a concert stage. Hundreds sat on the rolling green lawns, shedding their innocence of youth and rising up for the first time for a cause that would grow into worldwide recognition.  We were all but ignored, we were the counter culture, un-American, anti-establishment.  We cared about our world, not about the highest salary, a second car and a new home in the newest Pleasant Valley development community.

The cause was right and we wouldn’t surrender this one as we did so many other false gods of the era.  Here was truth and it scared many.  With time the momentum grew and the cause became a virtue.
Today, the message reverberates in every language, in every nation.  It has become the issue of note but still the message has far to be carried.  People nod in agreement to the announcement on their radio of global warming from the front seat of their SUV; much talk but little action.

The evidence mounts and the fear grows but until the pain is felt, those of us who know worry more than those that merely speak.  We have always been a people that learn our lessons the hard way.  The hope here must be that we learn this one in a more mature fashion.

Living the Green Way is an ingenuous blog containing unrestrained opinion on the state of our environment and the events that affect it.  Here you will find news of this concern and stories worthy of notation.  Living the Green Way is one voice in the din of pollution where reason resides and what needs to be said finds a venue.

I am a writer. I put my words to form on paper, in digital format, in any way that can be read. I am able to expose my soul to the world that it may know me, know what I think, what I feel. In those written words I live. I am a writer.
Everyone is put here for a purpose and I am lucky to have found mine. I wish the same for you.
