Culture: Earth Day and Sustainability

Screen shot 2013-04-22 at 11.54.15 AMWhile the validity of research on ‘global warming’ or ‘climate change’ – pick your preference – is a hotly debated topic among the two political parties, stewardship of our natural resources is a good thing.  Earth Day, established in 1970, is a fitting occasion to highlight this.  Additionally, April 22nd has already been set aside for essentially this purpose so why not “reduce and reuse”?

While the role of human beings in climate change is debatable, one thing is certain.  Man is the only earthly being gifted with reason and speech and endowed by his Creator with certain inalienable rights not the least of which is to live on the Earth in liberty and in pursuit of personal happiness.  But with every right comes responsibility.  Stewardship of our natural resources is man’s responsibility.  Why not reduce, reuse and recycle where it makes sense and the item is deemed “recycle-worthy”?

Recycle-worthly items help reduce or minimize the risk of exhausting non-renewable resources.  Our liberty is a non-renewable resource.  History has shown that once a society loses its freedom, it is seldom enjoyed again.  Our founding principles are integral to liberty, providing the optimal conditions for freedom to thrive while simultaneously minimizing the risk that it will die.  That’s why TLBCo.’s motto is :

Keep Liberty Sustainable
Recycle Founding Principles!
