Earth Day is here!

It is as simple as that.  Many events are not seen as seminal the moment they occur. Take Earth Hour for instance – it started in a bar. Similarly, when the Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970, did the founders feel the impact of what they had set forth? Maybe, maybe not. However, they would be happy to see all that has come to pass when the event hits it’s 40th anniversary.

The Earth and her children

These are tumultuous times. Yet, more people realize the importance of conservation and sustainability than ever before.  Just this past weekend, I was volunteering with a program that allows us to teach young children anything they want. I taught two three-hour classes on “Sustainable Living for a sustainable world”. My classes tend to be set in a format where I ask people a lot of questions and through answers lead to discussions and dismissals of myths and such.

I am happy to tell you that today’s children are well on their way to be the first generation of global citizens with the best levels of awareness of the Earth, her ailing and how to venture on a path that will help fix these issues.

The path forward

Even today, there are a whole bunch of people who want to shut their ears out and sip “tea” in their ignorant bliss. If you really want to save the Earth they should not be the focus. Yes, it is important to stop them from running over our resources. However, the focus should be on people who are willing to forge a new path – the path towards a world where we reduce, recycle, and renew whatever it is – food, energy or our consumables.

It is in this path, with these folks that our future lies.
