As we once again take time off to acknowledge EARTH DAY today, it is appropriate for me to pause my usual posts on WEIGHT LOSS and join the rest of the world.
Whether you are religious and believe in the glory of God’s great work, or gaze in awe at the power of nature, the fact remains that we mess with our planet at our own peril. Bees, which we need for many of our food crops, are dying off in unprecedented numbers. Overweight and obesity are at epidemic levels in the world at large. And clean water is of major concern around the world.
So, should we celebrate Earth Day? Absolutely. Do we need to do more to protect ourselves from things that might be harder to see? Well, that depends. In the early days of the environmental movement, you often saw people with signs that said “Save the Planet” at the Earth Day rallies. However, we need to realize that no matter what we do, the planet Earth will go on. The ability of the human race to live here is what we really need to be concerned about.
