Earth Day 2013: A Letter From Jail

Happy Earth Day!

 

Sandra Steingraber, biologist, ecologist, writer, cancer survivor, mother, and poet, is sitting in the Chemung County Jail today, Earth Day 2013.  Read her letter from jail here.  It starts like this:

This morning – I have no idea what time this morning, as there are no clocks in jail, and the florescent lights are on all night long – I heard the familiar chirping of English sparrows and the liquid notes of a cardinal. And there seemed to be another bird too – one who sang a burbling tune. Not a robin–wren? The buzzing, banging, clanking of jail and the growled announcements of guards on their two-way radios – which also go on all night – drowned it out. But the world, I knew, was out there somewhere.

Mother Earth: Earth Day 2012

At your command all things came to be: the vast expanse of interstellar space, galaxies, suns, the planets in their courses, and this fragile earth, our island home.

From The Book of Common Prayer of The Episcopal Church

MOTHER EARTH, THIS DAY'S FOR YOU!

PLEASE FORGIVE US FOR OUR SHORTCOMINGS.

A friend wrote this message today:

I can't say "Happy Easter"-- our Mother Earth is being crucified and defiled by countless gas and oil wells and industries--- She is being pierced with long , metal drills, pipes in her Body and she is bleeding her water/blood out of these wells full of toxic chemicals injected into her Body--- her Skin is being peeled back and scraped by giant , metal , noisy, diesel belching machines--- She is Crucified right now--- dying --- can we stop and save Her?? Please---

FORGIVE US, MOTHER EARTH

Anyone remember Tony Hayward?  That treasure chest that Mr. Hayward has on the big hook says "One Million Dollar Pension." And the newspaper in the lower lefthand corner is the Wall Street Journal.  Cool shirt on Hayward. You bet your BP.

HAPPY EARTH DAY!
