There are as few as perhaps 25 albino redwoods around the world, and eight in the Henry Cowell Redwood State Park in Northern California. Check out a video from KQED explaining how these albino trees function. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

I have devoted my life to caring about the biodiversity and health of our planet and will continue to do so until the day I die. This Earth, this beautiful amazing orb in a vast universe, the source of all life, is what I am most thankful for today and every day. I am thankful for its mighty water that is its lifeblood and ours I am thankful for its soil that preserves and sustains the miracle of our sustenance I am thankful for the sun that warms us body and soul I am thankful for the wind that reminds us of its fury and power I am thankful for all creatures who live in harmony with man And I am thankful for the seed, the most miraculous wonder on Earth. From one tiny seed we can cultivate life for millions. Happy Thanksgiving to the people of Current, and thank you for another year of supporting the Sustainable Agriculture, Water is Life, Earth Care, and Solar Energy groups. May we as humans truly see how much we have to be thankful for every day and come together now to understand that in order to show that thankfulness we must treat this Earth with kindness.
