How to Celebrate Earth Day 2024

Allen’s Hummingbird, Male, showing how Nature thrives by: Pollinating flowers in exchange for food, Taking only what it needs, and Causing no damage.

Celebrate Earth Day 2024 by imitating Nature.

Nature is a living being that has important lessons for us.

Since we are part of Nature, we can build a better, healthier world for ourselves by applying these lessons:

1) Connection

All life in Nature is connected. That is, every species depends upon some other species for its survival.

People depend upon others, too. In fact, our most notable achievements result from connections we have with others.

This is why successful people seek out, cultivate, and build a family of connections.

Then they deepen these connections with conversations.

Consider:

How can you connect with others?

What actions can you take to promote connection?

2) Cooperation

Nature is a cooperative system where each part contributes to the others.

We can imitate this by cooperating with others.

For example, we can join (or at least support) organizations that work for the common good of all humanity.

There are also personal benefits here: Being active in solutions becomes a healthy replacement for worry. And it creates purpose that enriches life.

Consider:

How can you cooperate with others?

What actions can you take to promote cooperation?

3) Compassion

Every species shows compassion for Nature because they depend upon Nature for their survival.

And yes, Nature is a competitive system. Yet Nature works to sustain itself. Thus, each species takes only what it needs.

As humans, we can make conscious, deliberate choices to act with compassion.

We begin by making compassion the guiding value in everything we do.

Then we treat others with kindness. We help others in need.

And finally we support compassion by rewarding it.

For example, we buy from ethical companies that make eco-friendly products.

Consider: 

How can you show compassion? 

What actions can you take to promote compassion?

The qualities we find in Nature are the essential qualities of a healthy society.

So we can celebrate Earth Day 2024 when we use connection, cooperation, and compassion. And we can do this every day.
