Earth Day comes around, but once a year and it’s on this day when everyone is reminded of the importance of taking care of the planet. But is once a year enough? It was the author Henrik Tikkanen who once wrote “Because we don't think about future generations, they will never forget us.” Never have truer words been said. Each action we take not only affects us, but it affects future generations as well.
While today is the day that most people will chose to break out the reusable grocery totes or decide to throw that soda can in the recycling bin, the fact of the matter is that as long as we have an Earth, every day is Earth Day. Though you may only be one person, you can still make a difference. Whether it’s recycling, composting and even just turning off the water while you brush your teeth, every little bit helps.
Think of today as New Year’s Day and make a resolution to help future generations. Use the grocery totes tomorrow and next week. Then use them next month. Recycle every day. Implement changes to your lifestyle that will help your grandchildren’s grandchildren.
You won’t see the change today or tomorrow. But if every individual remembers to make an effort, future generations will remember us as people who cared enough to remember them.
