Hello I started an fun Tuesday Open Thread at firefly-dreaming a few weeks back and I thought you might like to see this one. Just a small way to honor the the people who talked last night on the special edition of American Experience called "Earth Days."
During the closing credits this song was playing;
And each speaker was shown first in their environment, then again in a box with a brief explanation of what they are doing today. Talk about "people powered politics."
Below the fold are some pictures I took of my television last night. It was out of respect.
If you have not seen "Earth Days" you can view the entire two hours online. With another page open, this history of the environmental movement makes some great radio too. And don't forget that "Food Inc" will be on PBS tomorrow night.
We need another song to make it "Two for Tuesday," don't we?
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life last...There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature, the assurance that dawn comes after night and spring after winter. ---Rachel Carson
