Oh my! If turtles could talk, the stories they could tell. I love the image submitted with the article.

Reading this article made me feel a sort of relief; a sense of calm and happiness. I have often wondered what the earth was like “in the beginning” when it was unspoiled by humans. I feel these environmental changes we are noticing is like a “glimpse” at what a pristine newborn earth looked like. When we return to “normal” will that purity disappear?
