I would not pretend to know those things and am thankful there are people who do and bring needed attention to the environment's stresses and needs. Having been a participant in the very first Earth Day I do feel a repsonsibility to my immediate environment. Oh do I hate litter! I cannot understand why people still do it. I am beyond annoyed by people who trash our water systems with everything from empty soda cans to tires and furniture. "Our ability to percieve quality in nature begins, as in art, with . . .
