[SustainableTompkins] guiding principles for sustainability

[Cnielsen56 at aol.com]

"Often, as I eat my breakfast, I see a flash of iridescent orange zip by  the 
kitchen window and hover in midair at the lip of a flower. A hummingbird  
threads its long, delicate bill into the center of the flower, not even touching  
the petals, and sips its breakfast. A moment later it is gone, having drunk 
only  what was necessary and leaving the flower pollinated. Precise, efficient, 
agile,  respectful: I think humanity can find no better teacher in the art of 
 living."
