And every day, the Earth provides us with food, water, and shelter. That is why it is so important for us to take care of the Earth and its resources.
We absolutely require clean air, clean water, and clean food to survive. Once these are compromised, grief and illness flourish.
If we release toxins into the air, water, and soil, we release them into our lungs, blood, and bodies, leading to acute and chronic diseases. If we overheat the Earth, it can no longer produce water, crops, or shelter to sustain us.
So, ultimately, caring about Earth Day means also caring about our health and the health of every living thing on the planet. Perhaps we can give back more than we take. Remember, there is no Planet B.
