Today we celebrate Earth Day. Let’s think about Earth Day health, Earth Day harmony, and Earth Day beauty. Hopefully, that means we take a few moments to reflect on whether our planet is important and how we can take action to improve it.
I remember being excited when Earth Day started back in the 1970’s. Many of us tree huggers and flower children were sure that this would help people get back in touch with all other living species. We sang to plants and began treating our animals like part of our family. We took photos of this beautiful nature….and dang y’all…some of us still do!
While the current concepts of Earth Day have grown into more of a focus on the negatives of an unhealthy world, some of us would still like to encourage consistency in taking small steps. Try to be smarter about liter, pollution, and where you start a fire. Consider in which ways you could be a spokesperson, advocate, or take part in an organized civic action in your town. Yes, do the big things if you are able… but don’t be afraid to start small and DO something.
I may not be able to change the course of biodiversity or an ecosystem, but I can use these PHOTOS that I have taken on recent road trips to remind others of how beautiful this planet is. I love sweet and simple photos of the precious planet just as much today as I did all those years ago. And I can encourage others to contemplate how they can effect change. Think of your own personal health and the health of our world. How can you bring about some small bit of harmony?
Be mindful…love the land…and plants…and animals. Earth may thank you for that!
