Ecological Consciousness is growing. Most of us now understand, after having forgotten for a long time, that we are part of nature and that whatever happens to the ecosystems we depend upon will eventually have a similar impact upon us. This awareness is creating a sense of altruism that goes beyond humanity, an altruism that encompasses the species with whom we've evolved.
2010 marks the United Nations year in the recognition of the value of Biodiversity, and the need for this recognition in the alleviation of poverty worldwide. http://www.cbd.int/2010/welcome/
I thought this would be a good time to go public with a hobby of mine and start a business/project out of salvaging plants from native ecosystems that are being 'developed' into areas where they will be nurtured; gardens, farms, rooftops...
The business is called "Living Planet Ecological Sales and Consulting." What the name doesn't say is that I do this work because I love it, it makes me feel happy. I want to share the hope and happiness that this work brings.
If you are interested in adopting plants please email: Adopt_an_Ecosystem@yahoo.ca
I will post my adventure stories, photos and species lists for 2010.
