Dear World, I am writing this letter to you in order to ask of you to stop treating each other with so much hatred. I agree that our leaders have n...
In her new book, The Green Boat, Pipher argues that there is still time to save our fragile planet -- but this will involve changing our thinking and actions in significant ways.
For our children and their children, Memorial Day weekend may become a time to reflect on another loved one lost: Mother Earth.
Yes, it will take a very special gift to really say "I love you, mom" to our Mother Earth. Here are the top 5 green Mother's Day gifts that our favorite planet has recently received and which may provide you a few shopping ideas for the other moms in your life.
We can shrink in fear and wallow in our worries, just close down. Or we can use this time to work toward the expansion, openness, and love that we all know in our heart of hearts is possible.
We are less than 5 percent of the world's population but we use 25 percent of the world's resources, produce 25 percent of the world's pollution, and have 25 percent of the world's imprisoned population.
The naming of tropical storms may seem trivial, but I'm thinking maybe it's anything but. Climate change denial rests on the assumption that nature is inert and the planet on which we have evolved is a dead rock. Therefore, it doesn't matter what we do to it.
Happy Food Day! Today we might take a wakeful moment to give thanks to Mother Earth for nourishing us and our families over the centuries. It is a great day to consider what we put into our bodies and to take particular notice of the beautiful domino effect of supporting local food systems.
Wondering how to create a city-wide plastic bag ban or a green building ordinance, or how to stop a government planned aerial pesticide spraying of your own 'hood?
The circle of time, the celestial cycles, the round of the seasons, surrounds us and encompasses us. All there is, was, and will be exists within its ...
Our mothers, including Mother Earth, have done their best to nurture and care for us. It's time to return the favor.
The 99% pay for wealth disparity with lost jobs, but Nature pays, too. In the world the one-percenters have created, the needs of whole ecosystems are as easy to disregard as, say, the need the young have for debt-free educations and meaningful jobs.
Nature versus Nurture, Mary Katrantzou's inspiration for Spring/Summer 2012 is the contrast between natural and man-made, artificial against organic, industrial fabrication vs the inherent beauty of nature.
The earth needs our prayers more than we know. It needs us to acknowledge its sacred nature, that it is not just something to use and dispose.
The Language of Spirit Conference takes place at the point where Western modes of perception break down, where traditional wisdom meets quantum physics.
People have long believed that bad weather is some kind of vengeful divine retribution, punishment for our earthly misbehavior. Certainly in the face of extreme hardship, this is a tempting response, based, perhaps, on guilt.
We are a species not highly evolved enough to be ready for Earth Day, let alone Mother Earth day. But there is some tantalizing and hopeful evidence that we're beginning to find our way.
Chernobyl? Nuclear reactors and vodka? That was a bright idea. First, you poison me with radiation, then you invite tourists to see the results? Why? So you and your kids can laugh at the featherless geese?
Throughout world mythology, the goddess of the good ground, the grain, the autumn harvest, has been appropriately portrayed as a knowledgeable mature woman of the world.

In its infancy, humankind clung to the primal comprehension of a maternal Earth. The biblical name, Eve, means Mother of All Living. Her name is derived from much older creation myths.
To save our planet as we know it, a new kind of motherhood has to emerge. One that responds to the global threat to our children and that mobilizes us to action.
While saving and conserving are admirable virtues, perhaps it is more fruitful to think not of giving something up, but rather of giving something back to Mother Earth.
