Shouldn't Every Day Be Earth Day?

Hello everyone, and Happy Earth Day! 🌍🌎🌏

Whenever April 22nd comes around, besides thinking about what good I can do for the Earth, I wonder...

Is Earth Day just one day when people appreciate and do something good for the planet? Or is it a day when people look back and feel proud about what they did in the past year for the Earth?

Then I think about some of the things I've seen; the trash glittering around the highways and people spraying their entire homes with different poisons to keep nature from "invading."

Why should we care for our environment on just 1 day out of 365? After all, we spend every day on this planet. So, shouldn’t every day be Earth Day? 🌱

Here is a post from a fellow Blogger I admire, where she wrote a letter from Earth to us human beings. It's well-written and moving, so I highly recommend that you read it:

I spent all month working on this post, typing and deleting, never sure what exactly I should write or say. But I finally realized, that most of what I want to say has already been said and explained, in one form or another. So I decided to simply add those messages here for you to hear for yourself. I don't want to repeat things that other people have already said, and then get praise for it. But I want to do something to make the world a better place. 🌼

For most of my life, I've been thinking about what I could do to help slow global warming and give back to the planet. I spent years thinking, planning, imagining, and coming up with ideas. I figured that if I wanted to do anything, I should start now. So, I wrote this post promoting the other Blog I decided to start (the link is at the end of this post). I plan to post on it once a month and go from there. 🍃

According to scientists, we have 10 years or less to do something big about climate change before it's too late. We still have the chance right now to save our planet! But only if the majority of us stop waiting and start taking action. 🌄

Right now, it's more important than ever that we spread kindness in this world, not hatred.

Lead as a positive example, and show the world how much you care. 💗

Here are a few insightful and inspiring videos that I believe are worth your time to watch...

[How to Save Our Planet]

[How the Oceans Can Clean Themselves]

[Sir David Attenborough's Speech at the COP26]

[Another Speech from Sir David Attenborough]

Lastly, I thought I'd add the link to a Playlist I put together on YouTube with some songs that I thought followed a similar theme:

As you will have hopefully realized, so many people, young and old, have been and are fighting for the future. After all, we are the next generation, and this is the world we are inheriting.

Imagine... what if you stopped waiting and started doing something for our planet?
