After
spending an early St. Stephen's Day morning gathering up rubbish left
behind in Terryland Forest Park by selfish uncaring anti-social
elements, one could be forgiven for questioning (even for one brief
moment) why so many of us give so much of our lives cleaning up the
detritus of others that don't seem to care one iota as well as
constantly fighting against a political system that time and time again
puts obstacles in the way of protecting and enhancing the natural
environment. Then
in answer to that eternal question, I had a Eureka moment. Looking onto
the river, I saw two beautiful swans appear out of the mist. The whole
magical scene of mist-covered waters, slowly swaying rushes, tall trees
and majestic fowl reminded me of why we do what we do.
So
a happy festive season to every environmental and community campaigner
and volunteer across the world. Keep up the great work- you are making a
difference.
