How will you celebrate Earth Day on April 22, 2023? There are many days to celebrate during the year, and Earth Day may be one of the most important ones to celebrate and think about every year IMO. This blog is dedicated to many ideas, suggestions, and thought-provoking benefits of making Earth Day eco-friendly empowering endeavors to enjoy.
Our world is rapidly being deforested, depleted, desertified, de-soiled, destroyed, and deteriorated due to the extensive over-developing, farming, fishing, grazing, logging, plowing, and populating of the earth. We seem to have abandoned and lost the wealth of wisdom regarding living in harmony with the earth and natural resources. Fortunately, many eco-friendly, indigenous, native peoples and tree huggers who care about protecting Mother Earth have retained the courage, determination, and wealth of wisdom to pass the information on to future generations.
We must reach out to all parts of the earth to help people preserve and protect our global resources. We must join forces to protect our planet from further destruction in all parts of Africa, Asia, Canada, Central America, the Middle East, North America, and South America. Remember, there is no Planet B to live on. Earth is our only home, and we must do our part to prevent problems and protect the people and planet.
The passion and purpose of Morningstar NEWS are to help people with education, information, inspiration, and motivation to preserve and protect our planet. This information on Earth Day and eco-friendly endeavors to enjoy can help all of us to do our part in protecting the planet. If you want to be happy, healthy, and in harmony, we each must do our part to protect the planet and plants that give us life.
