Mother Earth, she ain’t so dumb. First, she sends us to our rooms to think about what we’ve done, then she gets busy and starts cleaning up our mess.
Have you noticed how blue the sky is, how fresh smelling the air, how clear the waters, how fragrant the flowers?
That’s all Mother Earth. She knows what she needs to survive, and she knows how to make it happen. A good old pandemic will do a lot to stop the pollution. Darned shame we wouldn’t figure it out for ourselves, and now we have to deal with the fallout of our lack of care for the earth we are charged to tend. Bad, bad stewards are we. Have we learned our lesson?
Time will tell.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
