For me it's urgent - sustaining this earth's natural resources is urgent. Each one of us must participate every single day in keeping ourselves, our animals, our water, our earth viable and healthy. we have the power to choose what we eat and how we eat. We as consumers can change the way major corporations source and manage their businesses - we can choose how bad or how great our impact is on this earth. Here is a great story about a mother's choice in how she will impact her millennial daughter's future...it starts with her business and her dogs and some insects.
