This is a blog about living on Cape Cod and running a Wellfleet bed & breakfast, open year long. I'm a Russian-American who spent 25 years in France. My husband Sven is from Sweden. Sweden’s colors are blue & yellow. Mix them, and you get green, a concept we embrace. No toxic chemicals, please, and organic food whenever possible . . .
"This land is your land. This land is my land." We need to protect our precious land since the government does not seem to be able to do so, often siding with corporations instead of citizens. We need to become better shepherds of our environment for the sake of future generations, like these two little girls, admiring the view at Cahoon Hollow this evening. At the Pennsylvania Senate tonight, ninety-one-year old Pete Seeger led protesters in song. Add your voice to the Halliburton Loophole petition here. How cool is that to see people coming together in a movement against injecting toxic chemicals into the ground, polluting groundwater, a process called '"fracking?"
Wow--so powerful. I wish I was there. I could have been... It's not that far from me geographically. Thanks for sharing the clip and I will definitely sign. My recent post What to do when a spouse lets himself go
Pete has always been one to put his music where his heart is. He's a big force in the Clearwater project on the Hudson River, as perhaps you know. He believes in passing it along too -- his next recording, due out later this year, will feature the work he has been doing with young children. My recent post national drum month- bodhran
At Thanksgiving I learned my father-in-law -- whom I've known for 40 years -- had Pete Seeger as a suitemate in undergrad school. Pete Seeger! He said Pete spent all his time in his room, playing his guitar -- and finally dropped out. Funny he could go 40 years without dropping that name, then tell a story no family member had ever heard before. My recent post The Story of My Professional Life
I didn't even know what fracking was until I read your post. It's often the small things that make a difference. On a recent trip to the shores of Lake Erie, I was saddened to see people leaving their trash. I went ahead and picked it up--every little bit counts, right?
