On the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, we see a clearer sky, empty roads and a substantial decrease in carbon emissions. The irony that this environmental bliss is a result of a pandemic, of human impact on biodiverse areas and wildlife habitats, does not escape us.
Earth Day is a reminder that everything we do as the BCSEA is under the idea that we do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, but that we borrow it from our children. We hope you are staying safe and healthy as you reflect on the beauty and wonder of our natural world.
Here are some of the things we’re watching and listening to on Earth Day:
• Built on Sand: a good reminder that sometimes conserving earth goes beyond what is always being talked about
• Video: The Story of a Spoon
• MinuteEarth:
o Why Biodiversity Is Good For The Economy
o The Cruel Irony Of Air Conditioning
• Quirks and Quarks Earth Day show
• Kratt Brothers/Wild Kratts
Happy Earth Day!
