One for all and all for one

Whilst reading "From letter to Robert Southey", I was inspired for this week's blog by the line "and dancing to the moonlight Roundelay". This is an amazing way, to end my blogging experience for this class. Throughout the duration of the semester my blogs have been advocating environmental sustainability, prosperous environmental ethics, love and respect for nature etc. This blog hit home for me;Yes, as an Environmentalist, I advocate such practices, but without a unified world to actually carry out these practices, believe in these ethics and adopt a love and understanding for the environment, my efforts are null and void. Many a time, I forget the important human aspect in the equation of calculating a healthy environment, I forget that humanity is not just a part of the equation, but we are the solution. "We", not meaning a family, a town, a state, a country, a race, a hemisphere. "We" meaning every human being on this planet. To save our world, and make it a safe and abundant environment for future generations to live in, requires each and every one believing and acting out these environmentally friendly ideologies and practices. When I read the line, "dancing to the moonlight Roundelay", I illustrated in my mind, a person of every race, class or creed holding hands around the perimeter of the Earth, praising and thanking the Earth as a community for the sustaining and nurturing power of Nature. We are all in this together, the entire world is affected by America's greed, India's over population, Brazil's deforestation and Central Africa's diminishing biodiversity. Environmental problems exceed a country's soverign border. Let us hold hands, black, white, yellow or red, in the presence of nature, innovate, and work side by side to preserve our Mother, Mother Nature;
