Earth day 2018 - Earth the place we call home.
A few days ago our 5 year old son burst in to tears. He was devastated by the way we have mistreated and polluted this beautiful planet. His reaction was a major wake u call and I could not help saying to myself 'what if we call reacted this way and felt as passionate about protecting our home.'
Several years ago our daughter, when she was also just 5 years young, joined me on my radio chat show and she uttered a few very powerful words and reminded the audience that 'Each time they wound their car window down and threw a piece of litter to the ground that they were destroying the Earth.' Her words had a profound effect on people listening that day.
Our children are pretty disgusted with us adults right now, and so they should be.
It is about time that Governments around the world start taking notice of our youth, and quite possibly it is time for a massive global change in management.
Quite possible too many governments of the world today are led by old, out of touch and ignorant individuals.
