A wonderful way to celebrate Earth Day is to show appreciation for all of the beautiful living beings that inhabit this beautiful planet. Enjoying a nature walk and all the magnificent treasures hidden in various little natural nooks is a great way to connect with Nature and all of her creations.
You never know what beautiful creatures and plants you'll find along the way. The beautiful little frog and the vibrant little lizard scampering across your path are gentle reminders that we share this magnificent planet with countless animal species and we should walk the path with kindness and awareness. The beautiful vibrant flower blossoming out of a mossy rock or a moist shiny meadow is an important reminder that the Earth is covered with vast miles of rich, vibrant vegetation that depends on clean pure air, water, and soil to survive.
Please remember that we humans share this magnificent planet with countless plant and animal species. As sentient caretakers, it is our responsibility to show caring kindness for all living beings. Take a moment to think about how your actions and choices affect Nature and the wildlife. Before you litter the ground, imagine a wild animal curiously exploring the fallen litter and getting sick from eating it. Please remember that the petrochemicals in your shampoo, hand soap, and laundry detergent go down the drain and pollute the air and groundwater.
Please be kind to all life on Earth and use only non-toxic, earth-friendly, biodegradable cleaning products that contain organic plant essences. "The earth does not belong to man. We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children." Chief Seattle
