"In wildness is the preservation of the world."
That quote by Henry David Thoreau is a glimpse into what you will hear on today's episode. We take a departure from the poems we have been doing for National Poetry Month to honor Earth Day today. The first Earth Day was on April 22, 1970. It started out as an event held here in the USA, but it has grown to be celebrated and honored in over 190 countries, with over 1 billion people observing and celebrating it today! And with the negative ways we are still affecting our planet, we need a day (or a week, a month, or a year!) to celebrate, honor, and dedicate ourselves to do all we can to save our planet and preserve it for the generations who follow us.
Today, you will hear 9 quotes about nature that I believe are quite fitting for an observation of Earth Day. While I hope you enjoy the quotes (like I always do), more importantly, I hope they encourage you to do, or continue to do, your part to help preserve the world for the future. Small actions by millions and billions of people can have incredibly powerful effects, so let's make sure we are all pitching in and helping in some small (or big!) ways to make the earth a better, healthier place for all.
As always, I am grateful to all of you who support the podcast! I do this show because of you. While I enjoy the quotes myself, I do this podcast because many of you who are looking for inspiration and impact from these quotes come back and listen to it on a consistent basis. Thanks to all of you for being a huge part of this journey!
