Happy Mother's Day!

Today's a day to celebrate all moms, grandmothers, stepmoms, expecting moms, adoptive moms, and mother figures!

But let's not forget one more important mom in the list: Mother Nature.

Our moms taught us to clean up after ourselves, put things away when we're done, and treat others the way we want to be treated. And our moms have tirelessly provided for us over the years, giving us what we need to survive, often without any recognition or thanks.

Can't we say the same for Mother Nature? Let's treat the environment the way we want to be treated - with kindness, compassion, and the decency not to leave it a total mess. The earth gives us the resources we need to survive, and we shouldn't frivolously waste them.

Let's give Mama Nature the respect she deserves, not just on Mother's Day, or Earth Day, but every day of the year.
