What is an Earth Carer? And how does one be an Earth Carer? To know what is an Earth Carer, please refer to my program pages on Being an Earth Carer.

How does one however, be an Earth Carer? Most of us would think of planting trees, being a vegetarian/vegan, minimal or no plastic bag use, less water and energy use, minimise use of cars etc. Taken individually these are symbolic actions. Nevertheless important.

But what kind of living integrates all the above and more? This I shall discuss at a later date.

I became an Earth Carer, though I was totally unaware of it, when I decided to be a full time mother and raise my infant children. That first happened 42 years ago, in 1981, in the highlands of Scotland, and it continued in Malaysia when I returned. I was a full time mother for eight years - until my two children began schooling. During those years, my husband and I had to be prudent about spending, and we postponed our goal of owning a house till I returned to work in paid employment. We lived in the present.
