Earth Day ~ International Mother Earth Day 2015
Earth day was founded by US Senator, Gaylord Nelson. The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970. In 2009, the UN officially renamed the day as International Mother Earth Day.
On this amazing Mother Earth, we were gifted all that we need to live. In return, we were asked to respect the earth and all that live on it.
In this time in our Mother Earth's history, we have come to a place where we function more on our "wants" than our "needs." We as a human whole, have lost what it means to respect, honor and live with our natural surroundings. Earth Day was set up for us to remember the trees and why they are so important to to replace those that we take or have been taken...
We "want" many things that the trees can give us...so we take what we need to supply our want. Animals in nature, need those trees to survive. That IS their home, their grocery stores, their housing...what once was a rich and diverse home land, has now become barren or plantation of minimal substance...we have depleted so many areas that certain animals live in for our greed for need...as a result, many are now extinct or on the edge of it.
The saying, 'we must be the change we seek in the world' let us take this a step farther and say, 'we need show the change we seek on the earth' let us plant trees that are native to the area in which you live...watch them grow and see how grateful the animals are that will come and live and grow in the area you have replenished...Gift Mother Earth with some new native growth!
While we are at it, let us pick up the trash we see in our area...we certainly wouldn't want someone to come to our home, our yard and throw their trash...
Have a wonder~full day!!!
Here are some images of animals, trees and their symbiotic relationships...
