A View From Above


A good friend of mine is a pilot and asked me the other day if I would like to go up with him for a quick flight over the city and surrounding rural area. It was a beautiful sight. The sun was shining brightly, and there were only a few clouds in the blue sky. There was high visibility and little air traffic. The perfect day for a flight.


While the two of us were in the air I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the earth. There is so much green that covers the world, and as I was looking over the area I thought about how tragic it would be to lose it. There is just so much to work for. With the promise that renewable forms of energy bring, we never have to worry about losing it to harness fossil fuels or to pollution.


Next time your in the air on a flight, on the top of a mountain, or looking out from your 15th floor office window, look down on the world and appreciate it. Look down and think about how you can do something to protect it.

No doubt! There is much we can do to foster sustainability here on earth.

Consider the ecological benefits of using energy from wind, solar and small hydro souces.

While none of these come with out some degree of an eco-footprint, they are options that do tremendously less harm to our amazing environment

Clean energy is real, here and working.

Check out how you and your community can obtain clean energy through your utility: SmartPower.org.

I love the greenery. It to me symbolizes life. Earth is our only home there won't be another and we need to take care of her.

God, Gaia, whatever you call her, she is ours and we are hers and how we treat her will come back to either haunt us or bless us. Thank you for all that you do. Your post was beautifully delivered and your spirit and compassion well communicated.
