“There is hope if people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of themselves, that heartfelt knowledge that we are caretakers of this planet.”
On our Planet Earth we have everything we need, water, rainfall, plants, vegetables, fruits from nature, light, heat from the sun, and we have the air that keeps us alive. However all this that the planet gives us might end up and it can happen very quickly if we do not take proper care. Man is quickly destroying everything that was given free of charge through the smoke of industrial pollution, river pollution, nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants, deforestation, pollution from cars and planes and more. Earth Day has grown increasingly around the world to create awareness of all the problems and what can we do about it.
If each of us helps a little, everything can become easier. We can help in several ways like, electrical energy saving, changing light bulbs for economic lamps, not wasting energy with connected devices which are unnecessary, saving water, using recycled paper, natural fibers for clothes, using recyclable batteries, using alternative means of public transport, bicycles, electric cars, carrying out the selective collection of garbage and their derivatives, not using plastic bags but returnable or recyclable etc. There are many ways to help, save and improve the planet we live on. So, let us join our hands together and pledge to protect our mother earth.
The Principal of the school, Dr. Manjula Goswami shared her views on this important day. She said that Earth Day should not be a one day affair rather it should be celebrated everyday to help the environment and make positive changes in our community.
