The United Nations recently celebrated the International Mother Earth Day as a reminder to protect the environment. Heat waves, droughts, fires and heavy rains that cause severe flooding have become more frequent in many parts of the world due to climate change, which affects the entire worldwide population.
The Earth is facing a “triple planetary crisis,” warn UN officials. Climate disruption, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste are the main areas of concern regarding the current state of the environment. This year, the Earth Day’s theme is “Invest In Our Planet,” so what would humanity's best investment for the planet be?
We need to start by cleaning up the planet. There is no place on Earth where the air and water are clean, and that's a real problem. In theory, tackling this issue should be our priority when it comes to taking action to improve the dismal state of our planet. But let’s not fool ourselves. Such a plan alone will solve nothing.
It will only help the international organizations to justify their own existence. They tick off "done" to raise as much money as they want, and that's it. If we do not improve relations between us, we will not be able to achieve the great and ambitious improvement in nature that we want and need to attain globally. We will never achieve a good result through bureaucratic, mechanical measures.
There are a lot of people sitting in their comfortable offices profiting from the environmental crisis and demanding money and respect. They keep flying from one end of the world to the other on all kinds of missions to make a lot of noise with what they are "doing" and which everyone "needs to hear" as if that alone means something is happening, but in practice we see no real progress. The Earth must also be cleansed of them, of these people who engage in useless campaigns that only cause harm because they mislead the world, leading it away from the real solution.
The cleaning of the planet should start inside out. If we do not clean the planet from within, and continue with our reckless behavior and the selfish nature of our hearts as before, nothing will change for the better. The immense sums invested in environmental initiatives should be directed to spreading an educational process aimed at improving the way we relate to each other.
Humans are the most developed and influential factors of all of nature's levels: still, vegetative, animate and human. Since we occupy the highest level in nature, positively affecting the environment, the climate, and nature in general can be achieved by reaching positive relations among us. On the contrary, by letting our divisive drives tear apart human relations, we also destroy our surrounding environment, the very nature that our lives depend on.
The more we humans are able to correct ourselves by changing our divisive attitudes toward each other into positive attitudes of mutual support, encouragement, mutual responsibility, and reciprocal concern, the more we will receive positive feedback from nature. And the more we develop without making this necessary correction, the more negative feedback we will receive from nature, as we have experienced in the form of natural disasters, pandemics.
It is of utmost importance for us to organize our thoughts, desires and qualities so that we understand that saving the environment and a shift to a better future depend solely on changing our attitudes to each other: from antagonistic egoism to positive, compassionate and cooperative relationships.
This would have never happened under President Trump!!!!
The US government said it would not change China's bandit regime, and then said it would protect Taiwan. This is a very contradictory deception. No matter what method a bandit regime uses, it wants to invade Taiwan, and the United States says it will not change the Chinese regime, and then wants to protect Taiwan. Is this trying to deceive the CCP or Taiwan? Is it for the interests of democracy and freedom in the world, or is it for the unilateral interests of the United States?
Isnt anything your going to do to really protect against mother neture no matter how well you build it .
none of you have a clue, just run your mouths at the Un thanked heroes of this country who work for so much less than other educated people like lawyers and doctors and especially politicians. none of you know where clean water comes from, how raw sewage gets treated, how hard those things are and how many job openings there are for educated engineers and power operators. you dream of sports or nfts or stocks for easy money they dont, they dream of a safe place for kids. notice no engineers chime in these or any other internet places. they are happy and normal and live simple lives free from the anarchy the rest of you impose on them. dont understand transmission stations dont understand air conditioners vs evaporative coolers, right arizona, where evaporative coolers work amazingly well due to a simple physics of what? none of you know. makes me sick to my stomach seeing all the people running around with bs jobs so appreciated, but when a storm hits how many thanked the lineman putting up a power line at 2 in the morning, in freezing rain and wind
He said “Pregnant People”, What a Dope.
I believe in Climate Change. They even have names for it. It’s Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.
Did you see how the west America threaten others or sanction others to force them to stand with West America position. WHAT FREE WORLD IS THIS WHEN YOU MUST BE THREATENED OR SANCTIONED INTO SUBMISSION..
Put everyone in electric cars. That’ll help. lmao
What in the world does a New York lawyer understand about the U.S. electric energy system? Has she worked in it? Does she have the technical expertise to understand how electric energy is generated, transmitted, distributed, and costed?
I live in Texas. It is just a tad after 1 pm. ERCOT reports that system load is 88 percent of capacity. Moreover, it is projected to remain below 90 percent of capacity throughout the day.
Remember when you have no gas in your car and no power in your house, and no food in your fridge, it's all for the greater good to stop "climate change".
Heat hilarious solar storms! Hahaha
Why didn't the administration fix the power grid instead of spending all the money on people and war and take care of America First. You can't help others until you help ourselves First???????
This will get worse.
Most people don't even realize that the economy is collapsing and there is an increasing rate of unemployment worldwide, so take advantage and prepare by making investment to survive..
The day America properly prepares for future foreseen disasters is the day we get rid of guns or sugar. 😂 #cookingfatties
My solar panels are keeping my home nice and cool here in the midwest. The cost of solar has really come down since I installed mine. I'd really consider looking for some kind of backup.
Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.
The Republican-led states of Louisiana, South Dakota, Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina, Tennesee, Texas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Alaska have some of the highest energy costs in the nation.
