The greatest challenge of our time is that of creating awareness and profound appreciation of the Climate Change Problems we have. Need to translate the scientific discoveries pertaining to the Global challenge to our local experience. United Nations paints that through a visual of a better future as narrated by Morgan Freeman. "Morgan Freeman narrates this hopeful, must-watch short film about the need to solve the climate change problem. Video by the United Nations"
As a people we need to realise the need for co-existing with nature. This development in Manicaland threatens wildlife and in turn people. Here is the story captured by Alpha Media. "Manicaland, Zimbabwe. This tropical region - which has vast tracts of beautiful, evergreen landscapes, has some of the biggest commercial forests in the country. But all this, is under threat… Illegal settlers have invaded some parts of the forests here in Manicaland, and they have not only started to trample recklessly on this neat environment, but they have also made the work of timber companies difficult."
Today
Catholic Action Group on Environment (CAGE) joins the world in commemorating
the Earth Day. We fully embrace the world campaign on Environmental & Climate Literacy and acknowledge that collective efforts towards
improving mother Earth are realised through the creation and mobilisation of environmentally
conscious people. For centuries mother Earth has been sustaining us and this
day calls on us to commit ourselves to do the same for her. Pope Francis in his
twitter message says “Lord, bring healing to our lives, that we may protect the
world and not prey on it, that we may sow beauty, not pollution and destruction”.
HAPPY EARTH DAY.
