I remember the year of 1976 like it was yesterday. I was ten years old during that bicentennial year. Although I was a teenager in the eighties and loved that era, something about the seventies is etched deep in my mind and Being. When I hear the type of music that enriched television with magical theme songs (ok, magical for a ten year old) for shows like Charlie's Angels, Starsky & Hutch, Happy Days, and Star Trek, I sink in memories that stir all of my senses. Oh yes, I have a special relationship with the seventies.
But one story that snatched my heart with no return was a television commercial about the effects of pollution and I had to share it for Conscious Friday.
It amazes me how on one end of the spectrum, I will hold onto a slither of paper in my hand or in my car until I get to a trash can and on the other end of the spectrum, someone would throw aluminum cans in the street without a blink.
Jannah and I were leaving the gas station when I saw two young adults throw beer cans out of the window of their car. I was so irritated by this senseless and selfish act and would have stopped to pick them up if I were not in such a busy intersection. I took a deep breath and vowed to make sure I explain my opinion to others around me about how polluting this beautiful earth is a crime in my book. It is a spiritual crime, a human crime and it is so disrespectful to Nature.
I immediately thought of the “The Crying Indian - Keep America Beautiful” television ad that really had an impact on my still developing mind and heart in the 70’s. And when I saw beer cans thrown out of a car window recently, my soul remembered the tear on the Indian's face. You have to take a look at it below if you haven’t before.
