Earth Week
The week from April 16 to April 22 we celebrated Earth Week,
but did you know this holiday has been around for decades? In fact 1970 it was
created to help bring awareness to the Earth’s environment. Yes, before many of
us were even born (not me I’m a boomer baby), people have said to be concerned
about the Earth. But, what have we done to help? What did we resign ourselves
to do differently this last week?
It seems over the decades we have allowed convenience to
rule before conservation. Sometimes, it is not really our fault, we have been
told that doing things differently would help the environment when in fact they
did not—plastic bags. However, we cannot overlook our increasing desire for
easier over Mother Earth—bottled water. We have been given some ideas to help
like plant our own garden or recycle everything from boxes, paper, and
electronics. Are we doing so even when it is not convenient? Is it enough? Is it helping?
I think in theory we all want to not harm the environment,
but I don’t think we truly know what our actions are doing to the environment.
Also, we aren’t sure how to measure the positive impact we may or may not have
on Earth by doing what we feel are the right things to do.
Sorry, no answers this week…just a lot of questions…
