4.1.17 Consider this.

     The days begin to warm the soil, loosening and softening.March rains arrive, our drought impacted lands readily swallowing the waters.
     The worms who have been wintering beneath now feel the vibration of rain upon the surface of the soil, and come up for fresh nutrients, finally, after a long winter of none.
     The newly arrived Robins catch sight of the worms surfacing and nourishing themselves, and the Robins feet on some of them, nourishing themselves also.
     The Robins spend spring and summer and part of the fall feeding upon berries and insects, and then go about spreading seed of plants far and wide. This is how it's done.
     Now, if you're old enough, like me, you will remember all the different Love Canals. You will remember the poisoned rivers.
     You will know of so many schools and low income housing constructed on toxic dumps.
     You will remember the various species going extinct.
     You'll remember the lasting harm to all of us here, and others across the globe, and the planet.
     Whether you are old enough to remember all of the dire reasons we put in place environmental protections or not, for the welfare of your children and your children's children, or simply your sincere concern for earth itself, consider reading all sorts of information, from all sorts of origins.
     Consider finding out which scientists have been studying observations and carefully gathering the most reliable information from which areas of the globe.
Consider evaluating for yourself, with your own good judgment, whether what they say actually, factually, makes sense.
     And if it makes sense to you, the references and the reviews and the information cited, well then, support those in office who are actually interested in this accuracy. These facts. These undeniable carefully valid findings and opinions. Because otherwise, this earth, and this way of life for your children's children, or even simply everyone, is becoming seriously at risk.
     No matter what jobs we can save, no matter what jobs can be afforded in the short term, there is the validity of grave concern for the future. For all.
