[ April 22 is Earth Day ]

Did You Know?
 

April 22 is Earth Day. In 1970 a group of people got together in USA and "celebrated" this day to draw attention to the increasing environmental problems caused by humans on this earths. Since then every year events to mark the Earth Day are held all over the world. But what should Earth Day mean to each of us?
We can make it a day introspection, and a time to ask:

  • How do I waste or misuse the resources of the earth?  
     
  • How do I pollute the water and the air?  
     
  • How do I despoil the habitat of other living beings?

On this day,let us think about our relationship with the earth. As chief Seattle, the chief of an American Indian tribe, said in 1851.
This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. If we understand this, we can make each day an earth Day.
