Take a moment today to cherish the natural world around you.
Feel the spring breeze. Smell the blossoming flowers. Bask in the warm sun.
Give thanks for the beauty and power all around you, in the plants, in the earth, in the sky.
Plant a tree, or maybe a flower. Pick up some stray litter along the roadside. Ride your bike instead of driving to work. Or turn off the lights when you leave the room. No matter how you show it, do something for the Earth today.
Earth Day was founded on April 22, 1970 as a means to spread awareness about environmental protection and preservation, which was not a prominent issue at the time. This holiday has become more and more prevalent over time as research continually sheds more light on the state of the environment, pollution, energy, and global warming. It is a day to embrace nature and encourage sustainable practices. (Shouldn't every day be Earth Day?)
What are you doing to show your appreciation for the Earth today?
