All else rests on the foundation of our earth - our homes, offices, shops; our health,, both physical and emotional; recreation and relaxation. How we care for our home, the resources we draw from her and how we do that, the time we take appreciating the gifts from nature's beauty - all affect the other.

Learning how to best care for the earth is as important as learning how to maintain our homes. What's more, it can be gratifying. And learning how to utilize the earth's gifts - through hiking, camping, creating a yard sanctuary, can be immensely pleasurable and therapeutic.

In "Our Home, Our Earth," we will offer appreciation for this beautiful home we all share, and aim to provide both motivation and how-to in proper home maintenance. After all, we and our children will be here for a long, long time!
