Best Songs for Earth Day: “Calypso” by John Denver

Calypso. What a great word. What a great for a boat. And a song.

"To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean..."

I'm from the desert and I have to admit that I don't really get all the books I read about people and their longing for the sea.

But what I do get is that the oceans comprise two-thirds of the earth's surface, and that all of us--even high and dry landlubbers--depend on the health of the sea for the health of our planet.

So, let's cut way back on the carbon, let's figure out a way to do with much, much less plastic, and let's do our best to keep the ocean in good shape. For Jacques and John and for all of us humans living on earth.
