A few days ago our friend @Ericvancewalton and the Silverbloggers community invited us to an activity where we could talk about a topic that all of us as human beings feel and suffer, some more than others but in the end we can all understand each other because in some way or another we have gone through this feeling.
One of the most enriching experiences that feed my spirit has been to enjoy the outdoors, I love to enjoy the scenery, travel, go for a walk anywhere where I can feel free, breathe, recreate my mind.
But nothing on this planet earth is perfect, there is always a detail to discuss, to refute, to diagnose.
For many years our planet Earth, our home, our only spaceship is dying and nobody does anything to stop the environmental impact.
If only people knew that just proposing it would be enough to save it. We always complain and insist that it is our political leaders who must do something, but the truth is that we must all do our bit to help.
I have long insisted on the slogan “No blue, no green” and “No planet B” are two of the themes that I talk about everywhere and insist to call for reflection, especially in the youngest.
They always talk our political leaders go to take a picture in forums, world assemblies to talk about climate, global warming, among other issues, but what have they actually done. In fact I recently heard President Donald Trump say that the United States would withdraw from the Paris agreement and that would definitely be catastrophic for humanity or rather for the planet.
For those who don't know what the Paris agreement is it says that it is an international treaty that seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus limit global warming.
What else has to happen for the leaders and the whole world to unite as one to save the earth. Why do they insist on looking for another planet to live on if God created this planet so beautiful so we could live like angels in paradise.
So here is my response to this topic that today presents us #memoirmonday, one of the things that gives me sadness in this life is to see how day by day we destroy our house, our nest, our home.
If there is no planet where we are going to live, if there is no planet nothing and no one will exist and it will be the end.
We are the ones who are called to save it and not wait for anyone to tell us what to do. Tell me what do you do at home? Do you reuse, save electricity, turn off appliances when you go out, save water, pick up trash when you go to squares, parks or the beach?
They seem silly things, but just by unplugging your phone charger or turning off that light bulb you are not using, you collaborate, you contribute that grain of sand.
Another way to help is to claim to the relevant authorities in charge of waste collection, forests, rivers, beaches to implement rescue plans, cleanliness and more.
I ask you, have you ever planted a tree? Or are you one of those who think and wonder why? For a moment, imagine that the person who planted that tree on the beach or in the park where you like to go with your family and friends would have thought the same thing. If we all thought like that there wouldn't be a single tree in the world. God in his immense wisdom created the birds and they are responsible for moving seeds everywhere through their bodies, how beautiful is the wisdom of God and that is what I am in love with.
I never tire of admiring every detail, how the flowers open and spread their scent and beauty in the morning and in the afternoon they close until the next day. All active nature is intelligent, it takes care of itself and everything in order to beautify this world that today each one of us insists on damaging with our attitude.
So you ask me what makes me sad? That makes me sad, to know that the glaciers are melting, to go to the beaches and see piles of garbage, that makes me sad; to go down the street and see people throwing garbage in places that are not allowed, that makes me sad.
Seeing how day by day the planet is changing, do any of you remember the heat wave we experienced last year? That is a consequence of the famous global warming. Before we only heard about the destruction of the ozone layer but now everything is more serious and we are all absorbed by what is happening right under our noses.
Without blue there is no green: I learned that many years ago, without seas there is no land. The seas generate that vapor that rises to the sky, accumulates and then generates rain, but if we do not conserve the seas, if we continue to pollute them with oil, chemicals, waste of all times, who will be able to resist.
The planet is our home, it is where we are all born, raised, live and do what we like to do, that is why I insist “There is no planet B” there is no second option, it is this beautiful earth where we have our history, where there are good and bad, there are children and old, black and white, poor and rich, it is this planet that we have to take care of and defend from all those who want to destroy it.
I have always heard that we must leave a better world for our children, but you who are grown up, an adult, a parent, what are you teaching that child? Have you ever told your children that the planet must be loved, that when you go to the beach or the parks or if you walk on the street or in the car you must not throw garbage, that you must pick up and leave everything clean?
As the saying goes “education begins at home” if we are tidy and clean, surely wherever we go we will take that teaching with us.
Friends, I do not want to be sad, let's raise our voices, let's write more about this issue, let's talk to our children, let's tell the world that we do not agree with the bad example that Donald Trump wants to give by withdrawing from the Paris Agreement.
And finally I want to ask you to pray, let us ask God that our only spaceship will last for hundreds of years more in a climate of peace and harmony between man and nature.
