Daily contact with people and kids that have never raised any of their own food or spend time without their portable electronic devices. Nature is something to see on TV or their phone screen. Its really scary especially given the real impacts of our actions. What will happen if it doesn't rain or snow in Ca.? Or Nevada? Saw that Ca. may have only enough water for another year? That already 98.5% of the state is in severe drought in March. Yet no contingency plans exist. Even CBS 60 minutes did a nice piece on it yet nothing is happening....except to keep drilling deeper and deeper wells. The farmers are desperate but it seems like most are oblivious.
I planted at least 1 tree on Earth Day for the first 5 years we lived here. Subsequently I have planted almost two hundred in my quest to develop a respectable nut and fruit orchard. One year I planted 70 apple and nectarine trees. It was hard work... for a almost solid 2 months after we had rain like I have never seen in this part of the country. 75% of them drowned the following 2 years of drought and deer raids finished off the rest of them. I planted more and now have a decent supply of fruit but not the U-pick operation I had once envisioned. So developing a sustainable operation has been a struggle and its help deepen my appreciation of the efforts of those that do and how the earth functions. We have grown complacent and are forever expecting more. We have overshot our Earth's carrying capacity. You can't fool Ma Nature for ever and keep overdrawing from her bank. As I look around today the momentum from Earth Day is mixed. But we appear to be losing more of the momentum each year recycling and organics are encouraging, much else not so good.
