We all want to breathe clean air without getting sick.
Pray to drink clean water, enjoy the majestic view of flowing and stagnant bodies of waters without drying out.
It’s great to swim and bask on clean beaches without the thought of pollution, as well as, conserve animals and plants in their natural homes without disappearance.
When something is so great, it’s just natural to want to pass it on to our children and their children right?
Well, we all like these natural beauties not because we are environmentalist or conservationists or green in any way, shape or form, but because that is just how we humans are design – we came into existence with a gift of this heavenly beauties of nature to live and interact with in harmony. Well, I wish that is the case today, and because it’s not, efforts to create awareness on the need to conserve, preserve, and restore our beautiful planet has been springing up.
Earth Day is celebrated worldwide on April 22 annually to raise public awareness about the environment and inspire people to save and protect it. The theme for this year’s Earth Day is “Restore Our Earth” which focuses on natural processes and emerging green technologies that can restore the world’s ecosystems.
I will go further to add that we can’t protect the Earth without protecting the people that live on Earth and their rights that are in dire need of protection – indigenous groups, minorities, and the underclass and marginalized groups such as Blacks.
It will be a missed to talk about Earth restoration on this special Earth Day today without also highlighting the need to conserve some aspects of the human species that have become threatened, not from natural causes, but from you know it!
A very happy Earth Day to you all!
