A little change from the normal posts of tips and technical issues, I was inspired to assemble this piece after watching a PBR segment of this “Man” in concert.

A little tribute to an environmentalist, ecologist and humanitarian, John Denver …

It has almost been 12 years since John Denver left the Earth and people he loved so much.  One of the most memorable and inspirational folk singers of our time, John left a legacy of music and actions most will never know.

Environmentalist, ecologist, humanitarian … John Denver wore a coat of many colors and wore it exceptionally well.

Beyond the music and videos, he also left part of his heart and soul in the Colorado Rockies when he helped establish the Windstar Foundation located on 1000 acres near Snowmass, CO.

As described on the Windstar Foundation website,

“Windstar is non profit environmental education organization which promotes a holistic approach to addressing environmental concerns”.

Stop and take a few moments and listen to a couple of John Denver’s environmental classics (one a tribute to another great naturalist and ecologist – Jacques Cousteau):

And before you go, ponder this quote from the “Man” as well …

“No one person has to do it all but if each one of us follows our heart and our own inclinations we will find the small things that we can do, and together we will come up with enough to create a sustainable future and a healthy environment.” – John Denver
