Earth Day 2008


Today we celebrate Earth Day. Let's join all human inhabitants of the earth in protecting, preserving and enhancing its limited and depleting natural resources. Can we have access to fresh air, clean water, sufficient fresh food, good climate etc...? Or have we abused the earth's resources so much so that we are close to reaching the point of man made disaster and destruction! On a practical note, everyone of us can make a difference by practising the 3Rs i.e. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Governmental bodies can enact legislation and pass laws to prevent further abuse. And together as a global community, we can support the common mission of addressing crucial and urgent environmental and ecological concerns of this world. Since our Creator has made the earth, the natural resources, people, animals, insects etc..., we ought to be responsible stewards of all that is entrusted to us. Happy Earth Day!
