This is not the post I said I was going
to do, that one is coming in a few days. This one is just to create
appreciation for our Earth. So let's get on with it.
Earth is our
home. It is where we took our first breath, took our first steps, played our
first game, lost our first tooth, went to school for the first time, and where
we had all of our great experiences. Every single person or animal who has ever
existed has called Earth their home. In fact, the odds of you drinking at least
1 molecule of water that passed through a dinosaur per day is almost 100%,
because things have been living here for millions of years.
However, we
don't take care of it as if it were our house. It is easy to let something get
dirty and blame one of the 7 billion other people that live on this Earth. However,
just because it is everyone's home doesn't make it everyone else's problem. If
everyone has this mind set the world is going to become a pile of filth really
soon.
If everyone
would just look around them and clean their room, the world would be a much
cleaner and more beautiful place. Not their actual material room of course,
although at least that is a step in the right direction, but their room on this
Earth. Look around your community and think, how can I make this place better.
Your community is your room and you share it with thousands of other people, so
clean it up together. If every room in our house called Earth is cleaned, Earth
as a whole will be clean, even if each room was cleaned by a different group of
people person.
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
- Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
Each of us should strive to leave the Earth a cleaner world than we found it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the support. The Earth really is a beautiful place, and if everyone left the Earth cleaner than they found it, the Earth would just be that much more beautiful.
