We can do that but what we can’t forget is the fact that there’s a sinister side to celebrating this day.
We have to acknowledge the other side of this reality.
Let’s not be blind to what our reality really is.
Our Earth is full of scars.
Wounds have been inflicted by us humans.
I look through my personal library and find books related to recycling, green consumer, tropical nature, end of nature, earth rights, save our planet and many more.
Mind you, I got these books while I was in high school and college.
That was many more than 40 years ago.
Still the same concerns apply and, at this time, with more urgency.
Remember, there’s no “Planet B“, at least for the average citizen.
Many events are taking place simultaneously: raging wars almost worldwide, genocide, injustices, obviating humans rights, killings, hunger, poverty, catastrophic losses, hurricanes, drought, earthquakes.
I often wonder, if humans treat other humans without regard to life, why would they treat our planet, our home, with any small iota of respect.
It seems to be that “the powers that be” are squeezing Mother Earth until the last drop of her resources has been converted to profit.

The facts are terrifying.
No matter what you think about global warming or climate change, we need to take care of our planet. It’s the only one we’ve got
We need to care for animals!
We need to take care of Mother Nature!
We need to take care of the environment!
We need to take care of ourselves!!!
Just another traveler on life's highway hanging out in the slow lane. It's quiet, it's peaceful. Beyond the horizon is rest calling my name. Green pastures, still waters, my cup runneth over.
