Flora and Fauna - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade

Posted September 6, 2017

 

 

 

I have always admired Walter Cronkite on so many levels, but mostly as an intelligent and reliable newsman and as a vital, moral human being. Even though he died in 2009, I still remember his plain spoken grace in delivering the news, from moonwalks to war, assassinations to peace treaties and thusands of other topics. A favorite quote of his, made 2005 (but still oh so relevant today), is this one:

 

“I am joining the hundreds of thousands who shall be marching in the Virtual March on Washington to Stop Global Warming in order to demonstrate the concern that we all hold for the future of our planet and all the living things — flora, fauna, human and animal — that exist upon it. The governments of the world have tarried long enough, and the United States is scarcely without doubt the greatest culprit among them.  We the people have the strength to bring our country from our weak-kneed stumbling gait in the last ranks of reason to the leadership of the great march to environmental victory.”

 

Unfortunately twelve years later, in 2017, the United States is taking huge stride backwards in protecting the environment, in protecting the flora and fauna that is so important for our own human health on Mother Earth. I for one, as an ex-science teacher and environmental educator, am extremely appalled.

 

Since the theme of today’s Wonderful Handmade Wednesday, I chose items in Indiemade artist friends shops that represent flora and fauna, some wild and some domestic.  If you find something that catches your eye, please either click on the photo or the link below the photo to be taken to the shop for more pictures and information.  Enjoy this week's picks.

I am also deeply concerned

I am also deeply concerned with protecting the environment. Your post hits home what with wildfires burning up the pacific northwest and disastrous floods and hurricanes in the East, let alone what else is happening around the world.

Your handmade finds this week based on your love of animals and the flora of our world are each one precious. Thanks for including my stone earrings inspired by beautiful spring wildflowers.

Love and respect for our planet and all that lives upon it should be a part of our daily practice. We are stewards of this place and the survival of our planet depends on our caretaking. Thanks for sharing all the beautiful handmade items that speak to the wonders of nature.

Thank you
