Happy Earth Day 2014 !

Happy Earth Day. we all know how much Michael loved our planet and wanted us to focus on environmental issues and get involved in making our world a better place. . He said if we don't do it, who will? Lets all try to be better stewards of the earth and get the word out to others. If you can take take an active role in your communities, to help make a better life for our children and our childrens children. Time is running out. We need to take action now. Visit the earth day website to see how you can participate. ~ Qbee



Enjoy Michael's beautiful Earth song

Get involved with Earth Day!

Every year on April 22, over a billion people in 190 countries take action for Earth Day. From San Francisco to San Juan, Beijing to Brussels, Moscow to Marrakesh, people plant trees, clean up their communities, contact their elected officials, and more&#8212;all on behalf of the environment.

Like Earth Days of the past, Earth Day 2014 will focus on the unique environmental challenges of our time. As the world&#8217;s population migrates to cities, and as the bleak reality of climate change becomes increasingly clear, the need to create sustainable communities is more important than ever. Earth Day 2014 will seek to do just that through its global theme: Green Cities. With smart investments in sustainable technology, forward-thinking public policy, and an educated and active public, we can transform our cities and forge a sustainable future. Nothing is more powerful than the collective action of a billion people.

As the global organizer behind Earth Day, Earth Day Network creates tools and resources for you to get involved with Earth Day in your community.


Here&#8217;s how you can participate:

Thanks, Qbee, for this. You are so right about Michael wanting us to be aware and get involved in taking care of our planet. I love the way he focused on this message in This Is It, and the fact that Earth Song was the last song that he sang in his lifetime gives it such powerful meaning.

FYI an ebook on MJ's environmentalism Michael Jackson's Love for Planet Earth is free on Amazon to celebrate MJ's commitment to the planet on Earth Day.

Here's the link to the previous discussion of this ebook.

Happy Earth Day!
 
It's a little late in the date, but I made a couple different pieces. I'm sure you'll recognize the poem :) These are just preview images. Click them to see the full-sized graphic.





 
It´s from Earth day...but 2012
I think Michael would have loved how they are making awareness of plastic trash pollution

In 2014 they are still dancing for the oceans, for the whales here at Whale of a day and they are still dancing to thriller.

Wow, Thanks, Mist--that was great! Plastic is a big problem, and I have been trying to take my own shopping bag when I go shopping and not use those single-sheet plastic bags. Also to recycle everything that has the triangle on the bottom, even styrofoam. Makes a difference if we all did that.

Loved seeing the people dance to MJ and make such a great environmental message--looks like the audience loved it too! :)
 
The bolded part has been stuck on my head ever since I read the book first time. Every time if I do something not so environmentally friendly, that quote pops in my head and I have to go back and (try) do the right thing.

MOTHER earth

&#8220;I was walking along the beach one winter day. Looking down, I saw a wave push a feather up on the sand. It was a sea gull feather stained with oil. I picked it up and felt the dark slick film on my fingers. I couldn&#8217;t help wondering it the bird had survived. Was it all right out there? I knew it wasn&#8217;t.

I felt sad to think how carelessly we treat our home. The earth we all share is not just a rock tossed through space but a living, nurturing being. She cares for us; she deserves our care in return. We&#8217;ve been treating Mother Earth the way some people treat a rental apartment. Just trash it and move on.

But there&#8217;s no place to move on to now. We have brought our garbage and our wars and our racism to every part of the world. We must begin to clean her up, and that means cleaning up our own hearts and minds first, because they led us to poison our dear planet. The sooner we change, the easier it will be to feel our love for mother Earth and the love she so freely gives back to us.&#8221; Michael Jackson DANCING THE DREAM 1992

This is how we did it in Spain! The spanish fans donate and planted 250 trees for Casa de Campo, largest urban park in Europe. As this is the 4th year in a row we celebrate it there, we're proud to say nearly 1000 of the trees are our MJ inspired gift to the Earth.
