Celebration of Earth Day

                                                               Celebration of Earth Day

Let's deflect our thoughts a bit from a current coronavirus situation and think for a second about our Planet Earth. Every year on April 22, we commemorate Earth Day and remind ourselves how everyone of us can help protect our fragile planet and keep it safe and healthy for future generations. Since it is the only planet on which people may survive, we should be conscious of our behavior.

Following are some real-world examples from my daily life that you might find fascinating and helpful:

> I purchase more products in paper, glass, or any other biodegradable packaging and less products in plastic packaging.

> I conserve water For instance, I turn the faucet while I brush my teeth or shampoo my hair in the shower.

> I conserve energy by shutting off any unused equipment and the lights in any rooms I'm not in.

> I don't pick flowers; instead, I want to let them grow and appreciate the sight.

>I like being in nature and feeling connected to it. I enjoy taking a tree hug and taking in some fresh air. You can feel the crisp air even with the protective mask on.

It's now your turn; take it. What steps do you take to protect the Earth? Your ideas and recommendations are much appreciated.
