Dear Editor
Although as individuals we can often feel small when Earth requires the respect from all. Upon my finger pointing regarding the garbage that was left laying in the forest, industries were held responsible. There is now a very clear benefit to our Earth as a result.
Each and every infraction was removed from the forest, but with a hitch. There was one company that went above and beyond their commitments and removed other industries' trash as well. What needs to be pointed out here is that things have a very specific place to be put.
Using a library and the books contained within for a comparison, if there is no order in which the books are placed and stored the library, to most people, would be useless. If you borrow a book from the library, How To Respect Earth for example, then you return the book to the place where it belongs it can be reused again and again. If you set the book down in the forest or even in your own back yard and forget where it is, the results are similar to the things I found in the forest. The book is classified as litter depending an where it is and who finds it. The book that was a resource to many can become useless to all if placed wrongfully. Most importantly, unless the book is put away properly and used by all to learn from, it is truly rendered useless because the pages are falling out.
The book can be recycled and perhaps made into another book, The True Keepers Of Earth.
Special thanks to one logging company for cleaning our Forests.
And, while I clean my backyard, I would expect the provincial government to start by picking up their culverts laying in the ditches of province, as it is a offence to litter and the culverts are not likely being tossed out of passenger vehicles while they travel these roads,
