Take a walk in the country. Smell the pine. Pick wildflowers. Don't pick them all. Choose one flower growing in a bundle from one stem. In other words, leave the root in tact. Look around. We're having to go the distance just to locate undisturbed, natural habitat.
Allow the countryside to inspire your spirit.
In Genesis God created the heavens and the earth. He created humanity in his image. To pollute the planet is to deface God's creation. It's all too common to see trash alongside the rode even in the country.
The other day, my family stopped the ice cream truck. After eating our treats we ask a woman who was also waiting for the ice cream truck if we could borrow her trash can. She was glad to share. We need to all work together in keeping God's land clean.
While out playing in the back yard with the kids and pets pick up any trash you may find laying around. Trash happens even to the best of us, but it's our job to pick it up.
Beware of fly away litter. Check around your trash can for bottles, papers and cans that may have hit the ground instid of hitting bottom. Watch out for other people's trash winding up in your yard or left overs trailing down the street.
Your front porch says a lot about you. So, keep an eye on it. Also, don't let your porch become an easy out or dumping ground for the items you no longer want inside.
Keep it clean!

We've all heard of noise pollution. What about visual pollution? I'm not speaking of bad art. If you have a tent, a broken down car, a fridge and two sheds in your yard what do your neighbors think when they have to look at your mess everyday? Does your neighbors' yard resemble a landfield? I'm not handing out trophies for the redkneck yard of the year. Wrong website.
