So, May 22nd is Earth Day, and I'm really looking forward to this day. In a way, it's sad that we needed to designate a day so that people can actually remember that there is a whole world out there that needs our attention, but what can I say? We get busy, and if this is the reminder that we need, than why not?
My hope, though, is that we don't forget that it's "Earth Day" and not "Tree Day." So many people think that planting a tree is good enough... and I guess when you think about it, planting a tree helps with clean air and providing habitation and all that, but there are other entities in the world that need care too! Let's take animals for instance: why not go out and adopt a pet. Give shelter and love to a dog or cat or horse or tiger if you like! There are so many animals in the world that are in need of care!
Point is, the Earth is huge, and everything in it needs attention. Take time to remember those things and do something about it! Make a difference in this world with just one small act of kindness and love! If we don't make it our mission to preserve the things in this world that make life beautiful, wonderful, and unique, then we run the risk of losing these precious gifts.
Let's make the most of this day; of this opportunity...and celebrate our Earth!
