Abstract

The article discusses the need for a more meaningful observance of Earth Day, suggesting it should serve as a central time for reverence towards the planet. It reflects on the origins of Earth Day, which began in 1970 as a massive protest against environmental degradation, and contrasts that spirit with the current lack of engagement with pressing environmental issues. The authors propose that established religious practices could inspire a new belief system centered on nature, emphasizing gratitude and community, and advocate for a continuous recognition of the Earth’s significance beyond a single day. They argue for integrating nature into daily life and consciousness, rather than relegating it to a commodified experience. [Extracted from the article]
