"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And when I am for myself, what am 'I'? And if not now, when?"

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen a Nat'l Geographic for a while. It must've been within the last few years though. But that mother earth crap seems to have infiltrated many science based shows.

Damn Earth! Screw the Earth I say. What did the Earth ever do for me?
It's interesting- and yeah, I get all "out there" when I think like this- but if we were to look at some other planet and we could see it in time lapse what would we think? Say we saw the matter collect and form a disk. Gravity pulls much of the matter to the center and compresses it until fusion gives birth to a star. Much of the remaining matter forms planets. One is just the right distance from the star for liquid water to cover most of its surface. Over time life evolves and intelligence. What would we make of that? I suspect we'd say "that's a neat planet". But when we talk about our own planet we talk about it as if we're not part of it! It's the Earth and us. But there is no Earth and us. There's just us. We're all Earth just as we're all Universe. Why do we do that? It's our ego's need to be separate and superior. I can't be Earth! A rat is Earth, I'm something far more important that that! We sure do make ourselves out to be something special. And we are pretty special, but I'd wager in the scheme of things we're not much more impressive than my dog.

Wuff x2
 I mean the circle of life baloney. Spiritual/mystic garbage has no place in science shows, imo. I've camped all my life, I am keeping my fairly large storm water retaining area in my yard, I do not use fertilizer, I fix things instead of throwing them away.... Want to help the planet? Plant a tree. But then one has to rake  Pete

Be careful with the earth, it's not uranus.
Trees? By last count we have planted close on 80 or more.

Since they do it every day
It should be counted as a political donation.
