Integrity

Integrity:

Honesty - Say what you mean
Transparency - Mean what you say
Credibility - Do what you say

Integrity is a word that is used frequently in conversation about values. However, it is a concept that seems to be difficult for some to live by. Is it ironic that using the word integrity to describe the values of a person who does not actually have integrity actually shows a lack of integrity? I wonder about this just about every day...

Ten Nice Things to do for Mother Nature in no particular order

Don't Litter - She may be "Mother Earth", but she's not responsible for cleaning up after you.
Keep the Air Clean - You are not the only one that breathes this air, be considerate of others while being kind to the earth.
Compost - Just because you don't eat vegetable scraps does not mean they aren't nutritious.
Keep the Water Clean - Just like the air, be considerate of all of the creatures who use Earth's water.
Spend Time Outside - The more you use it, the more you appreciate it, and the more you will care for it.
Conserve Resources - Some resources are in finite supply, and some require other resources to harvest - conservation relieves the pressure on nature to replenish.
Maintain a Garden - Any kind of garden will help you to appreciate the hard work that Mother Nature does to maintain the planet.
Use Rainwater in your Garden - It will give you greater appreciation for the water supply you have access to and a greater appreciation for the cleanliness of the water and air. Besides - it's what your plants really want.
Eat Locally Grown Produce - Reduces resources required to transport, gives you a greater appreciation of the landscape and what farmers do, and supports your local agriculture.
Pass it on - Helping others to become aware of their impact on the earth will allow them to make more informed and earth conscious desicions.
