Penelope's award-winning photo Einsten in my Garden
Photography, "Einstein in My Garden," by Penelope Torribio

We believe that if many people become guardians of the earth,
there will a huge positive difference in our world.

Changes in behavior can come from threats and ultimatums, but how much better for the health and well being of our children (and adults) if it comes through joyful awareness, increased feeling of stewardship and a connection with other people who are guardians of the earth, making a chain for change.

This is the purpose of Penelope Torribio's ecology art performances and products, to bring about joyful transformation of thought and behavior and a feeling of purpose and connectedness with others.  Together we can make a great different in the lives of children and their family and a difference in the world.

Cicada

I have friends that wax poetic on the silence, the peacefulness, of nature. But they, evidently. have not been to the Connecticut forest in July, when the high-pitched constant  “song” of the cicada makes you yearn for your bed in Los Angeles, and the sounds of the less frequent, bassy, heavy metal music booming out of black pickup trucks with oversize tires.


     Ok, it is interesting that they have a seventeen-year life cycle, but is being interesting enough when you are batting these little creatures away from your sleeping bag, your face and your frying pan? The question is, can we accept only the part of nature that pleases us? Or must we say that all creatures, big and small, have a right to exist on this earth—outside zoos and aquariums?
