Let's all think of the earth which we are all part of and be kind to its treasures. Be kind to animals which are one of its treasures.

Happy Earth Day!

If I could have one wish for today, it's that everyone educate themselves on factory farming and what it's doing to our earth and the people living on it. I can recommend "Eating Animals" for anyone who wants an interesting and educational read. Contrary to the title, it's not a vegetarian manifesto, rather just one man's exploration into how meat is produced today. And the documentary "Food Inc" is fantastic as well.

From a different bent-
The Botany of Desire: Based on the book by Michael Pollan: Viewers' Guide | PBS
A great program to watch, the parts about potatos and tulips really show how mass farming can cause catastrophies.

Thanks for the information. Food Inc. is an excellent documentary about mass farm production. I will take note of the series on PBS.
