Earth Day, 2025

Today, April 22, 2025 is Earth Day, a day set aside to bring awareness to the damage that has been inflicted on our suffering planet. Today I’m sharing some photos focusing on the beauty of our world and the animals we share it with.

Taking care of the planet and environment seems like a no-brainer; when the planet is sick, so are all of her residents. Unfortunately, profits reign superior to people, plants, animals and other living beings where most corporations are concerned, and many of them continue to release pollutants and other toxins into our air and water. In the US, many corporations even figure in the cost of fees and fines given by the Environmental Protection Agency as a part of their operating expenses, so they can continue to pollute. If we don’t take action now, life on this planet will be very bleak in the near future.

This is the 55th anniversary of this important day, and this year’s theme is Our Power, Our Planet, placing an emphasis on renewable energy sources. There are many ways we can help save the planet, one way is by supporting companies that are dedicated to environmental causes and by avoiding doing business with companies that are not. This can seem overwhelming with our already full and busy lives, but there are resources available online that have done the research for us. You’ll find a comprehensive list at earthday.org of things you can do to protect the environment.

With a little bit of effort, we can all do our part to preserve the beauty of our planet. I hope this encourages you to take action, if you have not already done so.

Maybe one day we’ll live in a time when everyday is Earth Day.

All the best,

Tricia
