Our earth is a wonderful caretaker. Land is available for life to live on. Fresh water is freely given with rainfall to sustain our organic constitutions. An ozone layer surrounds our earth to protect us from burning to a crisp by the strength and power of the sun. We are in an optimal orbit that provides just enough heat and cold to sustain our fragile lives.

There is a small variance of mere single digit percentage points that define the difference between sustainable life and not sustainable as we know it. If the oxygen and carbon dioxide are compromised, most life will simply die. If the oceans lose their vitality, life cannot continue to sustain itself. If it gets too hot or cold, life will become unbearable for a while and then die out.

But, because the surrounding area is mostly ocean, the clouds don’t get pushed up above the peaks like they do in the Rockies. Not only is the hike or drive through Haleakala National Park full of amazing colors, desert, tropical wilderness, and waterfalls, you can hike up to the top and see the sunrise above the clouds.

Many people believe that the earth is just in a state of flux – a normal occurrence for the earth to adjust and stretch her legs. But, the simple fact is that there are more people on the planet than there ever has been. We are using industrial methods that use toxins that have only been in existence for little more than a century. Plant and animal life are steadily disappearing while more buildings and manmade environments are built that don’t include plants or animals.

The “green” movement is progressively getting stronger around the world and that’s not a bad thing. Even if we don’t destroy the earth we have a responsibility to it and its inhabitants. Even though the earth is an objective caretaker, she is still the caretaker. Earth probably doesn’t care one way or another what survives or what doesn’t, but she still provides the means for life to exist.
