Many people ask questions similar to
the following:
EARTH DAY QUESTION
In answer to the question "What exactly are we supposed to
do on Earth Day?" may I suggest the following:
The more we make every day an Earth Trustee Day, the better we
will know what to do on Earth Day. As Earth Trustees we
will strive in our daily life to help "peace, justice and
the care of Earth." This means looking at your daily
conduct for choices that will foster harmony, diminish pollution,
diminish waste and assist nature. (Walk more, ride less,
buy less, grow some of your own food, recycle, plant a tree,
etc.) Join some group that is helping to further
these goals.
Then on Earth Day you will think about and talk about our
wonderful planet – what you have done to help it and your
plans for the coming year. To celebrate the wonder of this
amazing planet you can join with others at your church, school or
other group – with exhibits and speakers, and invigorate
participation with music and entertainment.
If possible, join at the time of the Equinox in the global Earth
Trustee dedication and commitment to be responsible Earth
Trustees. Aware we are one human family, people from every
creed and culture link hearts and minds in silent prayer or
reflection for a minute or more around this special moment.
Peace Bells at the United Nations and other places will be
ringing -- reminding us the wonder of Spring is here.
