Today, April 22, marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Earth Day was born out of the environmental movement resulting from concerns about the well being of the planet and its affects on people.
Pollution, pesticides, and oil spills were issues at the time.
The
COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic
is the crisis that we are currently facing. However, it is also important to reflect on our own lives and our relationship with the natural world. What we do impacts the planet. When the health of the planet is affected, our health is affected as well. We are all interconnected.
Earth Day will go digital and live this year. Check earthday.org for "24 Hours of Action"(able) items, videos, global conversations, calls to action, teach-ins, performances, and personal messages and inspirations from people around the world. Let's act, and move forward to a better future.
