"Self-sufficiency does not mean 'going back' to the acceptance of a lower standard of living. On the contrary, it is the striving for a higher standard of living, for food that is organically grown and good, for the good life in pleasant surroundings... and for the satisfaction that comes from doing difficult and intricate jobs well and successfully." John Seymour ~ Self Sufficiency 2003
I was blown away by this site which was sent to me by my daughter. It puts the beauty, uniqueness and size of this planet into complete perspective.

When one looks at these images, and we see how we are all connected on this planet, how can we not care about the effects our modern lifestyle is having on our world? How can we fail to consider the long-lasting effect of our eco footprint?
And how can we not care about each other?
Enjoy :-)
