Along with restricting our cars, how about saying no to imported goods too. Eating locally is another thing we can all do to not be a part of the huge ammounts of fuel used to ship food to the other side of the world. It's crazy that in Australia, we ship fruit, seafood, grains, meats etc and THEN WE IMPORT THEM!!!...from somewhere else!!!! Our planet cannot support this madness. Do you know where your food comes from?Tanya Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867118885094628168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-80399912214057132142010-06-06T21:08:26.228-04:002010-06-06T21:08:26.228-04:00I am all for going back to walking, riding a bicyc...I am all for going back to walking, riding a bicycle or horse. We would all be in better shape, physically, mentally and financially.<br />Maybe use trains for the occasional long distance trips. That would be better for the environment and a way more interesting and fun way to travel. Not to mention, people who need to talk on their cell phones won't be endangering other drivers. <br />I know it's not likely to happen but a nice dream...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-49433700522002139452010-06-06T15:34:06.482-04:002010-06-06T15:34:06.482-04:00Hi Tonya~God has given us His most beautiful creat...Hi Tonya~God has given us His most beautiful creation and most people do not give thanks. They abuse His creation and then blame the Creator for such senseless disasters. Since the early 1950's we have been on a down-road spiral toward destroying the earth. I see fancy Hummers going down my street when we don't even have any rough terrain~it is just a status symbol~how sad! The earth will never recover because there are too many proud and greedy people in this world. These people need a change of heart. They want to build on every inch of this land with ugly buildings.The corporations just keep cutting down the trees and taking over the land for their own greed. I know this sounds harsh but it is so true. It is awful. The only thing we can do is our part. We can read and educate ourselves about our planet earth and do everything we can to help our environment get healthier little by little. The politics of greed is ruining our earth. I wonder sometimes if the earth will even be livable for my grandchildren.

Tru...I think you took the words out of our mouths! Truly, when we choose simple living, less stuff, even less money, our lives begin to truly prosper, and our planet can begin to recover from the damage that's been inflicted upon it. People's priorities are so messed up these days...I know of countless families who have 2 or more cars, atv's, boats, trailers, and then they work like crazy, never see their kids, just to pay for it all...all the while guzzling up more of our world's precious resources. That being said though, it is reassuring to me, that we have this community of mamma bloggers, and we get to see that we are all actively making changes to improve our own lives and life on this planet. Perhaps disgust over this oil spill will make those who are hard(er) to reach, wake up and start making some changes of their own. Perhaps this disgusting event will have a silver lining of some kind.

I have been debating and debating on whether or not I should post about the oil crisis on my blog (in the end I haven't---yet) but here's the thing, I am not really mad at all at BP (okay maybe a little) but WE are the ones we need to be mad at!!! If we didn't want tons of oil to drive our SUV's everywhere and get our oil CHEAP then there would be NO NEED for BP's drilling. BP i just doing their job ya know? Right before this crisis happened my hubby and I realized this, now he bikes to work EVERYDAY 21.5 miles!!!! and we only have one car which we use once a week. Then this happened and now we are so glad about the choice we made, and feel even guilty for using the once 1x a week!!!! <br /><br />Thanks for this post I'm glad someone thinks like me!!!<br /><br />~SamanthaWild Maple Woolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951385089192465051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-70089987237159518862010-06-06T07:06:18.568-04:002010-06-06T07:06:18.568-04:00Thank you for your wise words.Thank you for your wise words.Cadihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14517775140048055244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-90378812478557060102010-06-06T02:27:01.300-04:002010-06-06T02:27:01.300-04:00Dear Tonya,

I came across a blog writing about helping in some way, here is the link http://crafthope.com/2010/06/project-8-gulf-coast-oil-spill/<br />They will be making hand towels and wash cloths to clean the animals covered in oil and they are asking for people to help make cloths and send in if they can. I think this is a great idea and such a positive action taken in the light of such an awful situation. I will blog about it today on my blog:)<br />Warmly<br />LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08585956094647636047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-53918454425319333272010-06-06T00:34:49.045-04:002010-06-06T00:34:49.045-04:00Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I thought it would've been a good call as soon as the disaster happened to demand all people stop driving their cars. That's it...no more oil. If they needed to get somewhere they could walk. Sound ridiculous to anyone? Well, not so much as this disaster!! This spill has cause more damage then ever in the history of this planet and will NEVER EVER be able to be made up in any price or time allotment. So devastating. Thanks for verbalizng about it.
