Do Something for Our Mother Earth Today
As a child my parents were always good stewards of the environment. They were raised on the farm where the natural resources of the earth were your means of subsistence. My father was an outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing and just being outside and he taught me what treasures we had here in East Tennessee with our mountains, lakes and streams. We are fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful places on our Earth.
It is incumbent on us to protect our beautiful home. We must always preserve and conserve because it is critical to our subsistence as well. So many people visit our beautiful mountains and so many people want to set up their homes and businesses here because of our natural beauty.
We must never let our environment become a political issue to be toyed with by the extremists on the right or the left. I know how I feel as an East Tennessean and I won’t allow it. Have a great Earth Day and do something for your natural environment today.
