Why is the celebration of Earth Day 2023 relevant?
Earth Day
Earth Day: We all agree that one of the most important issues needing solutions is environmental. We have definitely lost our natural connection with nature. And it is a known truth that when such connections are lost, there is an imbalance. We need to understand in an emergency that all the phenomena in the universe, or what may be multiverse, are happening according to a set of rules to keep everything in balance. As humans, we need to abide by the rules for existing and sustaining life. However, we have tried to enforce human laws on nature and the environment, and the end result is always self-inflicting. It is because of this that a day like ‘Earth Day” becomes relevant to observe as more and more awareness needs to spread.
Restoring Our Earth: How Can That Be Done?
The theme of Earth Day 2023 is “Restore Our Earth.” Aren’t we lucky that we are inhabiting something that can be restored even though it has been harmed to a great extent? Imagine otherwise. As the life cycle of everything is a continuous process, it is we who must sustain the process and cycle. Or else nothing is preserved for future generations. Wise individuals and many organisations have been working out solutions, and now more and more people should be involved. They are addressing all kinds of problems arising from human follies. More efforts need to be taken to engage government of every country, include individuals, communities and work as global community.
The few practical steps to show your respect to our Mother Earth on Earth Day 2023 are:
- Plant a tree and take care of it.
- Take a bicycle ride, try avoiding personal vehicles, and instead use public transport or a simple walk.
- Volunteer to support any individual, community, or nation taking initiatives for environmental protection.
- Grow organic food, at least in your kitchen or backyard garden.
- We can also try building and living in eco-friendly or minimal houses.
Word of Caution as Conclusion
There may be and definitely will be a point in time when restoration may fail if steps of urgency are not executed now. Let us work together as a global community to sustain all life forms and ensure a safe future for future generations. Let’s celebrate with a sense of commitment.
