government out of it and you will see God’s plan as
He really intends us to have it. After all he is the one
who created the nature of the earth and its contents.
The… trees, wildlife, plants, rain water, sun and the
moon, etc. Our earth and environment is our respect
to one another which it supports life to it’s fullest. We
stand at a critical moment in Earth’s history, a time
when humanity must choose its future. As the world
becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the
future at once holds great peril and great promise.
To move forward we must recognize that in the
midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms
we are one human family and one Earth community
with a common destiny. We must join together to
bring forth a sustainable global society founded on
respect for nature, universal human rights, economic
justice, and a culture of peace. Towards this end, it is
imperative that we, the peoples of Earth, declare our
responsibility to one another, to the greater community
of life, and to future generations. This is the actual
preamble of Earth Day. Did you know that there is a
ecology flag created for Earth Day? According to flags
of the world, the ecology flag was created by cartoonist
Ron Cobb, published on November 7, 1969, in the Los
Angeles Free Press, then placed in the public domain.
The symbol is a combination of the letters “E” and “O”
taken from the words “Environment” and “Organism,”
respectively. The flag is patterned after the United
States’ flag, with thirteen alternating-green-and-whites
stripes. Its canton is green with a yellow theta. Later
flags used either a theta or the peace symbol. Theta
would later become associated with Earth Day.
Walt Kelly’s poster for the first Earth Day reads
like this: “We Have Met the Enemy And He Is Us”. It
actually shows a child standing in front of two fruit
trees with all the trash and waste that we put there.
Not by all means a pretty picture.
The real simple truth here is, and you may have
heard about it is: “Take care of the earth and the earth
will take care of you”!
I really think you get the full aspect of what Earth
Day really represents now, well I sure hope you do.
I think if you would really want to grasp this fullcontent of Earth Day then I would recommend that
you read the nature Psalms in God’s word they are:
Psalms 8, 19, 29, 104, and 148.
Praise to the great God of heaven and earth. Enjoy
the earth of spring and all it has to offer you!

Let’s take a closer
look at what Earth Day
actually means, what it
stands for and or represents. To be completely honest
with you, I really did not know the full-scope of earth
day until I did some research on the topic. Earth Day
is a day that was founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson
and focuses on environmental awareness. Earth Day
was Friday, April 22, 2011 in the United States this year.
Earth Day is a day that is intended to inspire
awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s natural
environment. Plant a seed and grow a movement.
Or, eat a prune and have a movement. Could this be
a start? Yes, it most certainly could very well be. You
may want to take a closer look at these movements and
decide which one you would choose for this day next
year. After all, they can have a positive effect on the
environment, now, just think about that one for awhile.
I do not want to focus on the political part of
Earth Day for which has gotten way out of control.
I believe there is enough government movements,
that in all respect doesn’t do us all any good when it
comes to our earth and environmental issues. Take the
