Earth Day 2017

Each and every day is and should be Earth day. We have but one planet. She is unique as are the lifeforms that exist within her. It is a great shame that as a species we are so careless, thoughtless and destructive to a finite and endangered resource.

Greed and politics further erode that respect and put not just the Earth but everything living on it. Shame on us and if the Earth destroyed us today, I would shed no tears – as we would deserve every bit of it.

So when she lashes out with floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, and sink-holes; instead of listening to her and correcting our bad behavior, we deny we have done anything or that there is anything wrong. SHAME.

It is a real shame that something that has been here eons before we existed is dying because of something it gave birth to and has nurtured for millennia. She is within her right to wipe us out and start anew; and unless we wake up and realize our mistakes and take corrective steps – nature always finds a way but we will not survive, there is poetic justice in that.


Earth Day 2017

Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22. Worldwide, various events are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day events in more than 193 countries are now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network.


World Water Day 2017
Show The Planet Some LOVE!

The need to respect the planet and be grateful for all that it provides should be a constant one. However, especially on this day of United Nation’s designated “World Water Day”, I hope that you will take a moment to realize the desperate perils threatening our planet’s water supply. Hopefully realize that unless we change our behavior to conserve, protect and replenish – WE WILL PAY THE PRICE AS A SPECIES, and we only have our own shortsighted failures to blame. Much of our world’s other life has already gone extinct – mostly due to our encroachments and bad behavior.

… try and leave the world for our children better than we inherited it, they should not bear our sins; we need to be better than we are and have been so far or we will bring about the extinction level event that will see the end of humanity …

World Water Day 2017

Globally, the vast majority of all the wastewater from our homes, cities, industry and agriculture flows back to nature without being treated or reused – polluting the environment, and losing valuable nutrients and other recoverable materials.

World Water Day is an annual event celebrated on 22 March. The day focuses attention on the importance of universal access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in developing countries. The day also focuses on advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
