Working for a better world is a hard job as you are always on the job. So take time to play, replenish yourself and bring fun into your work. Be creative, enjoy people around you and don't forget to sing and dance along the way. This section is dedicated to the kid in all of us. The one who jumps into leaf piles and sings on top of their lungs in the shower...and to the recycler who finds the treasure in the trash pile!

| "Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am-a reluctant enthusiast,
a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves
for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land...it
is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still here.
So, get out there and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder
and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers,
breathe deep that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and
contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely mysterious awesome space.
Enjoy your work and play hard...." Edward Abbey |
