Labor Day is approaching! We need to renew the values set forth in the early labor movement of this country. According to this history site, the early labor movement was based on the concept of a just society which fosters social equality, celebrates honest labor and relies on an independent, virtuous citizenship. Isn't that what we need now? Honest work for an honest and fair share of the proceeds of that labor? History of labor movement

I have learned that the U.S. hit overshoot on June 15th this year! Last year it was July 15th. We lost a full month from the information I have. This is terrible! We need to "abate the abuse"! Global Network had a #pledgefortheplanet campaign this year. Keep your pledges going! And if you did not make a pledge, this is a good time to get started! With summer ending and winter on the horizon; now's the time to "batten the hatches" for energy saving projects. http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/national_ecological_deficit

Sunday is Purple Heart Day! For all those who suffered injury or worse, Solars2c says "Thank You" and your suffering and sacrifice will never be forgotten or unappreciated. The freedom we have and the statement this country makes to the world should never be diminished. May we always stand strong in the face of opposition and oppression. Freedom is God given but individually earned. Freedom comes with a price and it is forever a worthwhile goal of every living human. God bless those who help others reach for this goal! http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160803006166/en/August-7th-National-Purple-Heart-Day
