My earlier post might have had a bit of a haunted tone to it. Sorry, people. Just that it's hard to face facts, especially when they come right up and punch you in the face. So now, I'm going to help save the Earth.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
The GT has decided that we've done enough blogging. We'd like to do something BIGGER, you know? Something that will help the Earth more. It's still all tentative, but roughly we've got something laid out.
We're going to be doing lots and lots of work on it, and we need as much support as we can get. Love the environment? Come help save it.
Thanks to Rachel for coming up with the idea. She's an idea genius.
It's still kind of drafty, but we're going to do something big. Big actions speak louder than big words. Our actions are gonna be huge. Although they still won't get bigger than our dreams and hopes for this planet.
We're still coming up with ideas, so if you have anything - anything at all, any rubbish you think would never work in a million years - that you came up with, TELL US. We are going to do something about the condition the world is in. And if we help save even a single life, it will all be worth it, no matter how much trouble we have to go through for it.
We're cracking our heads open here, so join us....
Let's make this world a better place.

Saving The Earth
The Green Team has been negligent in our duties as voices for Mother Earth. Our posts? They've deteriorated a lot. In quality, in quantity. Why I'm posting this, now, is because I want to apologize. To my team-mates, to my fellow inhabitants - ha, if that doesn't sound too weird - to everyone reading this and more. Because I haven't been doing enough.
And this is more than just regret that I haven't been able to get to a computer much for a while. At least, I hope it isn't. I haven't been completely inactive though. I've thought and thought and it's like the twin fires of writing, inspiration and perspiration, aren't enough to keep me writing. Like I have been.
Rest assured that there is still a spark there. Some hope, a buried ember?
I haven't written like this for months.
I just want to let everyone know that we're not done yet. Anybody who has ever read this website, even a single word. Every one of you, listen up. We are not done saying what we need to say yet.
I've put a lot of thought into this. I can only say that we've made a mistake in letting this blog remain so inactive, for so long. We have done what we've been telling everyone not to do. But every time you fall, you pick yourself up again.
Let's start again. Let's build this foundation.
There is no denying that we haven't been posting.
But it's not too late to save this effort. We're all human. We make mistakes. This is a big one. Maybe not earth-shattering, the-universe-is-going-to-end kind of big, but big all the same. Because in those few months, someone - or more - someone's mind might have been changed.
And that's why we're going to keep writing.
GT094, don't fail me now. Let's keep doing what we said we would do.

Love That Dog!
Hey!
Ever gone to a pet shop and said: Oh My Gosh that is so cute!!!!! I have to buy it!
I'm sure you have. Well, I have. I mean, so? What's the big deal here? Would you believe me if I said that some people buy animals because they think they're cute, and what happens when the animals grow up? They abandon them. Leave them on the streets, on the doorstep (literally) of the SPCA. Leaving them, miserable, clueless, wondering what on earth they had done wrong.
Sad, isn't it?
Not caring for animals can effect them real bad, you know? To you, they're you pets. To them, you're everything. Animals have feelings too. And here's a little story to show it:
The petshop was teeming with people. I looked through the animals and instantly found one I liked. Its fur was sleek and shiny. The Golden Retriever puppy was rolling about trying to make snarling noises, but only causing people to laugh at its cuteness. I brought it home and took good care of it. Years passed, Faith grew up. I started losing interest in her.
She was no longer the cute little puppy, but a full grown, irritating one. I came home from school, and she would jump about me, delighted and asking for attention. She did this everyday and I ignored her and shooed her away.
One day, I came home from school, and there was Faith lying on the floor, with her head between her paws, her eyes mournful and miserable. She didn't move. I tried to pet her, but she turned her head away from me. Shrugging it off, I went to do my homework. The next day, Faith had passed away. This had been a lesson I would never forget all my life. A lesson that all creatures had feelings I had to care about.

Well you see? We have to care for everybody no matter what!
