We call her Mother Earth, yet we, her sons and daughters, put tremendous pressure on her and exploit her natural resources at our own peril. Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time and if we don’t take adequate steps on countering it, we will surely face a grim future. Today is Earth Day 2010 that is observed to celebrate the achievements made hitherto in the conservation of earth’s natural resources as well as to make a renewed pledge to build a healthy, prosperous, clean energy earth now and for the future.
The Earth Day is observed every year on the premise that all people in the world, regardless of their race, nationality, gender, income or geography have a moral right to stay healthy and to use the natural resources that Mother Earth graciously provides them all. People all over the world participate in the Earth Day activities and make contributions in whatever possible ways to make a concerted effort towards bringing on a sustainable environment and a better future for one and all. This is our chance to advance a new climate policy, energy efficiency, renewable energy and green jobs.
Earth Day is the perfect opportunity available to us to propagate the spirit of environmental conservation and sustainable development. Read about it, write about it, tell others about it and spread this idea to all your friends, relatives and acquaintances; together we can make a difference.
