planet earth

what’s with the planet anyway? floods, droughts, aids, tsunamis, hurricanes, melting polar caps, earthquakes, avian flu. give us a break dude. if i was the religious kind i would be standing at the corner of chatham street and queens street with a cardboard sign saying “ the end is neigh. bye.”

for all our technological advancement we still fail to understand the planet we live on. aristotle once said “nature does nothing uselessly” but perhaps chief seattle said it best…


“humankind has not woven the web of life.

we are but one thread within it.

whatever we do to the web,

we do to ourselves.

all things are bound together.

all things connect.”
- chief seattle, 1854


perhaps the cardboard thought was not such a bad idea after all.
