Earth Day

The affect of environmental issues occur everyday and in particular deforestation is becoming a highly ranked subject. From animals to the human race, the alacrity of trees that are cut down affects every individual in a variety of ways. Not only do people need to help the planet but they need to help themselves and further generations to come, such as children and grandchildren because these natural resources that are being taken away from society are as well shaping the future. For comprehensible reasons, forests use to make up the world, until man made creatures started to destroy and destruct the most important supply to human kind which are trees. Trees are crucial to every living entity for the reason of providing oxygen to all.

Caring for this earth is a duty of our faith and a way to respect God’s creations. Regardless of a person’s background, culture, or religious preferences, we are all called to protect the planet on which we live to preserve the future of the earth. As stewards and stewardesses called by God to share the responsibility for the future of the earth, we must work to protect all of creation for the sake of future

The gender wage gap is a prominent issue which is fought for in feminism today. In the past, this standard has been justified due to the fact that women were more likely to be stay-at-home moms, and were less likely to have jobs or college degrees. Today, women are getting comparable education to men, and working comparable jobs, yet the issue remains. The gender wage gap is a women’s rights issue based on the old-fashioned role of women in society which needs to be fought against and decreased in the United States during this current political and social climate.

We renewed our commitment to do so during this G20 Summit. As our planet becomes increasingly interconnected, we need to promote strong, sustainable economic growth that works for everyone, and embrace the need to be socially and environmentally responsible. This is about creating jobs and opportunities for everyone, and building a healthier and more prosperous tomorrow for our children and grandchildren.”

Oh, you don't know too much about trees, do you? Well let me tell you that trees are amazing, and I mean, we literally breathe the air they are creating, and they clean up our pollution, our carbon, store and purify water, give us medicine that cures ours diseases and food that feeds us.

"Our goal is not just an environment of clean air and water and scenic beauty. The objective is an environment of decency, quality and mutual respect for all other human beings and all other living creatures”. (Nelsonearthday.net) Earth Day is an annual event celebrated worldwide and was created by Gaylord Nelson. Gaylord Nelson was the one who came up the idea of Earthday to be an annual event and was also senator (“Earth Day”). His idea was inspired by the anti war protests of the 1960’s and came from his beliefs that the earth needed protecting. He believed that people should know the importance of keeping the environment safe. By the early 1960s more people

People should buy fake trees instead of going to cut down a real one. Plants go through photosynthesis and give off oxygen. They also give us fruit and vegetables (food). Plants also help us making new seeds that will create new plants for the future. Real trees also go through photosynthesis and give off oxygen, food, and new seeds.

Three to six billion trees are cut down each and every year! Deforestation is a huge problem in the rainforests. Because these forests are home to much of the Earth’s species of life. Covering 30 percent of our land forests provide homes, protection, and oxygen for humans and other wildlife in the forests. There are 7.125 billion people that count on the benefits provided by the forest, which is: food, clothing, traditional medicine and shelter. If something isn 't done soon to reduce our carbon footprint, we will not have forests of any type to soak up the carbon dioxide(CO2) in the atmosphere.

In “The History of Earth Day” by Amanda Davis, Amanda Davis states, “On April 22, 1970, more than 20 million demonstrations and thousands of schools and local communities participated in Nelson’s demonstration.” This shows that a lot of schools and communities were willing to help Nelson create a day that helps Earth stay clean. This day also took a lot of work to make happen. Earth Day is still greatly needed as a holiday. It took Nelson heading to Washington, D.C. to get John F. Kennedy to stand up for environmental issues, and having the UN Secretary General signing a proclamation saying Earth Day is a holiday on March 21, 1971, but, most importantly, it is still needed because in 2012 the U.S. made 32 million tons of plastic with only 9% recycled.

Each year, 1.5 billion new trees are planted in the U.S. That 's more than five seedlings for each American and 2,000 for every bear.

Earth Force Inc is Jon Urbana's latest philanthropic endeavor as he once again reaches out to the youths of today's world in an effort to combine responsibility with appreciation in regards to our natural world. Hoping to instill in the young a sense of duty and wonder at the natural beauty around them, Earth Force Inc strives for the care of the natural world with an emphasize on appreciating and caring for one's local environment.

In the article “The History of Earth Day” by Amanda Davis states, “In 1962 Gaylord Nelson decided to do something needed to be done to the environment.” Earth Day is an important day to Earth. We need to take good care of our home and care about it. I think we need Earth Day because Nelson thought about the Earth and cared about it, now because of Nelson more people care about the Earth, and now Earth Day is an official holiday.

We should promote the conservation of our ecologies by reducing the amount of waste that goes directly into the environment and promoting green thinking and living all across the world. For instance, we could protect our environment by reducing the amount of cattle that feed in a certain area and by prohibiting the introduction of alien-invasive species as they deplete minerals and food in the soil for other plants to consume.

For quite some time, life on earth has been nothing but peaches and cream for several people and because of people who live a non-sustainable life, it has left others with an indistinct outlook on earth’s future. Sustainability to me is doing things that will help prevent harmful things from happening to the environment now and in the future. With the support of the sustainability and more quality ways of living, the Earth Charter is gradually introduced. Through key research I will explain what the Earth Charter is and why it was founded, describe one of its four parts along with the goals and overarching philosophy, and share the impact it has on my life now and in the future.

The Wilderness Society’s Governing Council states that “No other ecosystem in the world can store as much carbon as do these forests, and it’s a capacity they have not yet begun to reach” (Bert5). Trees are very important to all of the living species. The cutting down of the trees is now nearly 4 billion trees or 35% of the total trees cut around the
