Each year, Earth Day is celebrated around the globe. This year's theme is "Invest In Our Earth". As residents of the earth, we need to take on the role of steward and keep watch over the bountiful creation provided to us.
"Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it. How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. Allow nature to teach you stillness." - Eckhart Tolle
This year, EarthDay.org asks people across the world to "invest in technologies and practices that can benefit the earth".
Recipe for Change
Observe our beautiful earth through nature's eyes, protective and calm.
Become a watchful steward; recycle waste properly.
Commit to a green future; next generations need your help now!
Listen to Love Song to the Earth.
Quote to Inspire Poetry:
The earth is what we all have in common. - Wendell Berry
There is beauty in fragile flowers, the
turn of light upon the grass. The earth
wrapped in shades of vibrant hues is
resplendent in springtime, but what
if we neglect our mighty land? Will we
deplete earth of its riches or of all
it has bestowed on mankind. Have
we forgotten what is necessary in
our haste to have superfluous interests in common?
