Learn about Earth Day 2021

 

Happy Earth Day 2021 to our Mother Earth

Earth Day just happens to be the beginning of the month of Taurus, the sign of the Earth.

There are four planets in Taurus today: the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Uranus. The Moon is in the sign of Virgo, the sign of earth’s harvest and Pluto is in the sign of Capricorn, the sign of Earth’s mountains and hibernation. The Sun gives life, Mercury stimulates, Venus loves and Uranus changes. The Moon also nourishes and Pluto transforms.

Let us celebrate the nourishment, stimulation, love, harvest and transformation of the Earth today, with today only the beginning.

Signs of hope:

✓   The USA is hosting a two-day virtual summit of world leaders starting today, which coincides with Earth Day, to address the global climate crisis. 

✓   Many nations, including USA, China and Russia are pledging to drastically reduce carbon emissions.

✓   The world’s car makers are rushing to make electric cars, to reduce carbon emissions.

What about we ordinary people?

   ✓   The world, including the oceans, landfills, streets and vacant lots are being piled high with plastic, other trash, discarded masks and gloves. Plastic is made from oil. Those billions of plastic water bottles, the plastic our vegetables are in at the grocery store and plastic shopping bags are made from oil. This means they do not degrade, only pile up on land and float on top and below the water in the lakes and oceans, depriving necessary oxygen for fish and marine life.

✓   What can one person do to eliminate this waste? This means us! Can we reduce the plastic we purchase and discard? Can we at least re-use it? Some of my friends are completely plastic free, which is getting harder to do since most everything is encased in plastic. Frozen vegetables used to be available in paper boxes, but the last time I shopped at our local mainstream grocery store, I noticed every single vegetable is encased in plastic bags, including organic. I will continue to go to our other local grocery store that sells sustainable and organic everything.

✓   Your ideas on how to improve Mother Earth’s health would be wonderful. We could begin a Twitter conversation. Let me know if you would like to contribute to the conversation and you will receive the twitter link.
