Parents might include children\u2019s birthdays, a wife their spouse, and a brother their younger sibling, but those generally seem to be locked in as the most important days of the year \u2013 or in my opinion at least.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commemoration days are all the rage right now. The amounts of pancake days, international compliment days and national Oreo days is dizzying, so I tend to give them all a miss. I do observe Earth Day and Earth Month because I\u2019ve learned to show appreciation to the people and things that make my life wonderful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On April 22, 1970, 20 million American citizens took to the streets to protest how consumerist pursuits were happening at the expense of the planet. By 1990, 192 countries had joined the USA in the annual rally to protect the green and blue marble we call home. We have been observing Earth Day, and recently, Earth Month ever since.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While 2018\u2019s theme was \u201cEnd Plastic Pollution,\u201d and \u201cEnvironmental &amp; Science Literacy,\u201d was the highlight for 2017s; 2019\u2019s theme is \u201cProtect Our Species.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bees, giraffes, whales, elephants, coral, and some species of insects have been selected as the six animals to represent the endangered species of the world. It is all our responsibility to protect these creature. In order to do that, we need to understand what might be killing them so we can find a solution:<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><em><b>BEES<\/b><\/em><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colony-collapse syndrome (CCS) is the leading cause of bee endangerment, and it can easily be stopped by simple changes like organic pesticides and permaculture. Learn more about making your garden a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/how-to-fill-your-garden-with-birds-bees-and-butterflies-2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bee, bird and bug haven<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so you can teach your friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><em><b>GIRAFFES <\/b><\/em><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incredibly sad how these majestic creatures have slipped onto an endangered list through threat by illegal poachers and a loss of habitat. We need to protect giraffes, or risk losing them like we nearly did the white rhino.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><em><b>WHALES <\/b><\/em><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though these mammals have a low reproduction rate, they were hunted relentlessly during the 1800s and 1900s. The sorry state of our oceans has further threatened their species.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><em><b>CORAL <\/b><\/em><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that since 2016, half the coral in the Great Barrier Reef has died. With it, marine life has become endangered because its natural habitat is withering away. It is vital that as we keep our forests and farms healthy, we keep the oceans and skies clean too. Global warming has contributed to this and created what can only be seen as ghost towns in the oceans. Ghost coral, or coral bleaching, is caused by the increase in the temperature of oceans &#8211; subsequently resutling in all dependent marine life dying too. People are able to do their bit for global warming through the simple acts of eating less meat or just supporting local produce. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><em><b>ELEPHANTS <\/b><\/em><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tale of these friendly giants is also quite heartbreaking. Hunted mainly for their tusks, mutilated elephants are often left to bleed to death.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><em><b>INSECTS <\/b><\/em><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loathe the common house fly if you must, but it &#8211; like most insects &#8211; plays a vital role in the food chain. Butterflies, gnats and other small insects are our primary pollinators, and they provide food for birds and reptiles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><em><b>CREATIVE WAYS TO CELEBRATE THE EARTH:<\/b><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For <\/span><b>adults:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone who is of the opinion that old dogs can\u2019t be taught new tricks, clearly doesn\u2019t know how to negotiate an effective rewards system. I managed to convince my mother to recycle by explaining how, as a farmer, her irresponsible habits were affecting her bottom line. You can do the same with you stubborn friends and family members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grown-ups might not respond to a prize for the prettiest plastic-bottle doll, but they might be incentivised by a bottle of wine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Host an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eco-education evening<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by presenting your guest with practical information they can use every day. Teach your loved ones everything from making their own compost and starting a veggie patch, to breaking down what a plastic-free life looks like. You\u2019ll be amazed to see how quickly they change their habits when they realise how easy environmentally friendly alternatives are to implement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get your tech-savvy teens involved by <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">starting a hashtag<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you want it to be effective, it must be interactive so make it fun and lighthearted but remember that it needs to bring attention to the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have <\/span><b>kids:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s always a great idea to get them into the healthy habit of earth conservation. Get them excited by a hands-on project and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plant a tree with them<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Not only will they enjoy the reward of creating something, but they will get to watch their project grow and positively influence the environment over the years too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can get the little ones to do pretty much anything if you throw \u2018party\u2019 at the end of it, so why not host a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recycling party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Invite your neighbours children to bring along some of their recyclable trash and you can offer fun prizes for the kid who upcycles the most creative craft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organise a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pick-up picnic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your block. Host one every weekend of Earth Month; invite families along to come clean up the trash at your local park, beach, or any other public area. Encourage families to pack a picnic basket of nibbles, organise a few soccer balls, frisbees and cricket gear so families can have a fun day out after they\u2019ve done their bit for the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are three dates every person should remember each year: their birthday, valentines day, and new year\u2019s eve.
