Fifty years ago (I was 23 and living in Ocean Beach, CA) was the first Earth Day. Such a great gift to Earth. We finally started thinking about doing things in an earth friendly way, working to clean up and stop polluting. I am reminded that it was Nixon who created the EPA and signed a (bipartisan) Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act.

With the way things have gone with the current president (I refuse to use that a**hole’s name), we have gone backward. He says climate change is a hoax.

According to the news, on the eve of this year’s anniversary, POTUS directed his administration to work on a financial aid plan for the oil and gas industry, which has been hit hard by global shutdowns to address the pandemic.

WHAT? The oil and gas industry? Are you kidding me?

However, on the bright side, it looks like the pandemic is helping our Mother Earth. Have you seen all the glorious photos all around the globe showing less of the bad stuff and more of the good stuff? It’s amazing; at least for the moment.

We have our proof, folks.

Maybe when we can get back to a more normal way of living we will keep things in proper perspective. Let’s try. Let Earth win.
