 “We are made up of 84 minerals, 23 elements, and 8 gallons of water divided by 38 billion cells.  You were built from nothing by the spare parts of the earth you consumed, according to a set of instructions hidden in a double helix small enough to be carried by a sperm cell.  You are made of recycled butterflies, plants, rocks, streams, firewood, wolf skins and shark teeth broken into their smallest parts and rebuilt into the most complex living thing on our planet.  You are not only living on earth...you ARE the earth!”

So please, love, honor, care, and respect Mother Earth.🌍🌍
