I mother nature copy

Let's talk about this tonight:



Every second, thousands of individuals are born to mothers whose instincts to love and protect them constitute the greatest force for good in the universe. Some have snouts, some tails, some feathers. Some swim, others fly and some can only crawl. Only a tiny fraction of them are human, and yet each one is a critically important member of the ecosystem that keeps our earth, and us, alive.


I Mother Nature is a grassroots movement to help people understand nature and what we can do to take better care of her.


Humankind has abused nature to the point where she will not be able to support our unsustainable practices for much longer. This is our chance to love her back.

Let’s start by making Mother’s Day about mothers of every species.



Please add a story here about how other species care for their young.

And support these organizations in their work to protect species and habitats.

Tonight

Great new work, guys, thanks. For those of you going to the AD club, please come early, let's get our work done on Tripping Bear, then you can head out. But it will be more productive for everybody if we can all be there for that discussion. Cause we have a client meeting in two weeks.

Hi everyone. I have posted a schedule for the rest of the semester so we can talk about a plan for getting everything done.

I have to leave class at 8:00 tonight to fly to Vermont, but next week we'll have a long class to make up for it. You all can stay together and work, since we'll have much to discuss.

See you tonight.
