I painted this sun on my garden workbench, and on the top I painted "We Are The ARK" as a symbol that my little half acre is a friendly place for nature. I had been going green in my garden for many years - avoiding lawn chemicals, pesticides, and leaving untamed areas for the animals and insects. Then I was even more inspired and focused after seeing the movie about the Irish landscape architect, Mary Reynolds, and her mission to rewild. I highly recommend the movie and her books!

A world where workers are treated with dignity from our paychecks to our working conditions. In this world, every point in the cycle of production and consumption – from extraction, to processing, to use, to disposal – contributes not just to a less toxic world, but to a thriving world.
