April 22nd , every year marks the anniversary of a movement. A movement that inbred in the 1970s, in the wake of awareness amongst people, about the planet that supports them and is going to support their coming generation selflessly for perpetuity. Nonetheless this service that may seem to be for eternity, might soon become limited in near future.
It was the Earth Day 1990, which paved the way for the United Nations Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in the year 1992.
Earth Day is surely something to celebrate and to remind us to be grateful to Mother Earth, but its more about doing what we can to revive it. We are humans, we do need to remind ourselves to be grateful to everything that's endowing us, but that's fine as long as we put our due effort in returning the favor. Right ? That makes us think, act and change.
It's a day to rekindle public commitment towards a better and a healthier future. A future that harbors every human to have the conscience to love and respect the nature. A future which reflects the backdrop of our efforts taken today.
So, let's make it possible. Let's put the demon inside us to it's coffin and wake up to our conscience, because Earth is way above religion, backgrounds and nationalities. Because nature has an immense amount of faith on us.
The possibilities of doing "something" are endless . So, make a difference, change a habit, plant a tree, always carry a bag to go shopping, switch off lights, close a flowing tap, organize an event, volunteer for an NGO, talk to the authorities, think innovative, join the Earth Day Network, teach a kid about the above said things, do your bit for Earth, have fun, meet new people, spread the word, think big, make it happen.
You needn't depend on April 22nd. Every day is Earth Day. Nature never ceases to serve us, so why should we ?
We can't eat money after all the trees are cut. To build a better future that we need to, we must commit to protect our environment throughout our lifetime.
