According to Rick Conkey, the Earth is not happy. Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis and hurricanes are only a very small portion of the planets truly amazing vocabulary. Most of us have long forgotten its ancient wisdom making the Earth feel isolated and alone. Most experts now agree its patience and skin (Ozone Layer) are wearing thin - so there is no more time to waste! ...We must act now! Hugging the planet is no easy feat. It will take all of us to ensure its effectiveness.
