Summary
Earth Day falls on April 22, 2026. Arbor Day was on April 18, 2026. Every day brings an opportunity for us to protect Mother Earth. We are responsible for our earth and for our world. Donald has caused chaos and destruction in our world. Let’s start repairing it now. Every day is a good day to take care of Mother Earth.
Honouring Earth Day and Our Wellbeing
April 22, 2026, is Earth Day. April 17, 2026, was Arbor Day. Honouring Earth Day and our wellbeing go hand in hand.
Today’s brief post is designed to provide you with resources for you to explore. Spend some time in nature and learn about nature. By fostering your connection with Mother Earth, you harness energy towards your wellbeing and for the wellbeing of Mother Earth.
One World: The Human Race and Earth’s Wellbeing
In this broken world, we can contribute to repairing the brokenness we have wrought on Mother Earth. Together, we can practice honouring Earth Day and our wellbeing.
Earth Day and Our Wellbeing
We can pick up refuse in our neighbourhoods. We can learn about recycling measures and advocate for their adoption in our communities. We can donate gently used furniture and clothing and building materials to local organizations. We can participate in community gardens to produce fruits and vegetables for our families and for our neighbours. We can advocate for the use of renewable energy sources by our municipalities and our states. And, we do not have to do every one of these activities. We just need to commit to doing something, every day, for Mother Earth.
Arbor Day and Our Wellbeing
Arbor Day may be recognized one day per year. Trees need us to be the stewards of the earth in order to protect them for today and for the future. Plan to take care of trees on Arbor Day and every day. None of us needs to make a pilgrimage to the Arbor Day Foundation Center in Nebraska in order to learn the skills to protect trees. We can visit their website. We can contact a local arboretum. We can connect with the local university extension program which offer information about regional agricultural issues, vegetable gardening, preserving foods, and a myriad of other topics.

Take-aways: Honouring Earth Day and Our Wellbeing
Each of us can take steps to make our world a better place for all of us. Each of us needs to make an effort. We have one earth, one world, and she is on loan to us. We have one life to get it right. So let’s learn a new skill and engage in a new activity every day to try to make our world better.
It is not too much to ask of ourselves. Really. It’s not difficult. Earth Day and our wellbeing are like two peas in a pod. Honouring Earth Day and our wellbeing helps everyone.
When the Donalds of the world are gone, we will be left with the destruction of their commissions, omissions, and policies. Let’s get a head start on cleaning up the disasters created by the Donalds of the world. Just as our forefathers did after WWII. Hitler’s monuments were removed in Germany. Germans rebuilt Germany. We, in the USA, will have to rebuild the USA and all of the other countries destroyed by Donald. We will succeed in repairing the chaos created by our American Hitler.
Now is not too soon to begin.
And, music to inspire you, of course.
Coldplay: One World
Be well. Be safe. Be united. Protect each other and protect our Earth.
