What comes to Anita's mind is "What have you done for me lately" This well known lyric describes what the earth could be asking us, her caretakers. We can't protect her from ALL non-caring polutters, litterers etc. but we can do our part here in Putnam County! So...do your part: recycle, reuse and reduce and never, ever litter. |

As an educator, I believe that if we can teach others to care for the earth then, we can resolve countless other problems in the process. This process should start with our youth because they are the future.

So many of the earth's problems are byond us as individuals; but one thing is for sure: if we all do our part as small as it may seem, it will make a huge impact on the communilty. We need to teach our children from an early age that leaving our Sonic cups and various other garbage in parking lots is unacceptable. Recycle, Reuse and Remember this our gift to our own future.

"Man did not weave the web of life - he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." -- Chief Seattle 1854
For the term of my membership on the Board of Directors of the Cookeville-Putnam County Clean Commission and beyond, I will support the mission set by our organization and promote it's virtues through educational and public awareness programs. The Clean Commission has the ability to make a difference in our County and I am proud to be a part of the organization.
Every Tennesseean should recognize their inseparable connection with nature. For in the physical world, our environment is all that we have -- we have no other.

Increasing awareness and promoting environmental education is vital to the well being of those who will come after us. I want to lessen my impact on the environment and help others to do the same. It is our responsibility to help change the future for subsequent generations.
