Sharing the Earth

Whether you choose to focus on it or not, we need to take care of our planet. As custodians of the earth, humans have done a pretty foul job since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution cleaning up our messes. We slash & burn, seek & destroy, all in the name of progress. But like little kids with their favorite toys, we just can't seem to get the hang of cleaning up after ourselves. Our forests are shrinking, that much is for certain, and restoring the balance is on no one's political agenda.
