What may have so many owners? Are we referring to a riddle? Not really, but I'll give you a few clues. It is precious, unique, impossible to duplicate. It's something for which conservation, if it is unanimous, costs cents. Yes, you are getting focused. We are referring to Planet Earth.
It's not just a matter of pitching in. It’s more like getting involved every waking hour in our shared house called Earth — gardens, fountains, resources, trees, plantations, exploration and conservation of habitats and species, including cultures. Something like National Geographic has been doing since 1888 through its magazines and TV programs. Millions have been involved and still are in preserving the planet for every present and future generation.
Be an eco-friendly citizen of the world. If you drink, not only should you not drive, but you should know ahead of time where your bottle goes. If eating fast food, anticipate the right place for your waste. Have a garage sale with reusable objects and eliminate properly those you cannot sell, taking the opportunity to clean your place. This will benefit not only your new "customers,” but your own place. From all these activities, you can make new friends and pocket some dollars.
I didn't know, until recently, about compact fluorescent light bulbs (those looking like little curly hairs) replacing incandescent light bulbs, with which I can be more energy-efficient and save money at the same time. If you don't try new things, you'll never know about the savings either.
Be more than a car-window observer. Get out of your vehicle, look around, smell the aroma of the area. Differentiate all the possible shades of green, step on different grounds and notice the difference between the bouncing ones from the rocks and the soft. Be aware of surroundings, from the sole of your shoes to the sound of leaves, grass, and water. Listen to distant birds, ducks and geese.
Look for flowers you have never seen. Don't use, eat, drink or wear those things not grown in the United States, like those which need to be transported thousands of miles, which burns thousands of miles and burns up fossil fuels that are bad for our atmosphere. Coffee, among them. Yes, I know, I'm also a coffee drinker. If it is as difficult for you as it is for me, don't quit abruptly. Get down your usual half a gallon to two cups a day.
Plant anything — a tree, vegetables, fruits. Even if you move away later, there will be something with your signature away from you which will be enjoyed by others, even if you never met each other. And if you plant a flower, its looks and aroma will be enjoyed by others, the same as you will be experiencing from another person's effort. This is a a beautiful way to communicate with others. Let other people know you were there before, and leave a fragrant signature on your way to somewhere else.
Walking, running or biking is keeping you and your planet in better shape. You will be contributing to a better habitat for small and big creatures, and that is an incredible effort. It’s free if each of us just pitch in.
