Why would a 72 year old semi-retired physician (the guy) and his 69 year old friend (the girl) want to try something as difficult as producing ethanol from their farm in Middle Georgia? There are many spirits at work here in the answer to this question. There is the patriotic spirit, the anti-aging spirit, the education spirit, and the list goes on and on. The large over riding spirit in all of this is the possibility that the product that comes from distilling corn or other natural raw materials could be the unifying force that makes all Americans, both left and right, come together in a common effort for independence. The hope that comes from a single seed that is planted in the ground and the need to find a way to help our country with its oil problem were the factors that made these older people jump into the fermenting vat and never look back. The saga began around the first of May, 2006. |

Inspiration: Like most of you, when I heard of recycling to save the earth, I naturally assumed I needed to separate my plastics, newspapers and glass. I was helping. That was all I needed to do. Then one day, I was searching around for something fun, some art, and I came across this abstract piece. It was gorgeous - it looked like a naturally formed wave of icy white water bursting into the air. When I looked closer at it, I saw that it was made from recycled plastic caps. I was in shock. What kind of imagination and talent does that take to look at a plastic cap and see more to it then what it actually is? How can someone be so ingenious that they can take something that we normally throw away and create such a piece of beauty with it? This is the thought process that I could not stop pondering and it took over my mind, body and soul and soon enough became my muse.
I began Earth's Journey for this reason. I wanted to show the world that there was more to saving the earth than just recycling. There is beauty in things we can't even imagine, and so many ways to help our planet flourish. There are products out there that we all could use to completely decorate, furnish and run a home... all environmentally safe. You can buy organic bedding, non-toxic cleaning detergents, solar power, or make a change in a small way by using energy-efficient light bulbs. But the best part of recycling and being eco-friendly is the beauty that you'll find here, with all of our different artisans. As you can see I'm very passionate about this type of artistic creativity, and I hope you will be too.
I invite you to sit back, relax and ... Be Inspired by Green!
