A lot of Earth Day articles focus on guilt. We certainly do have plenty to be ashamed of when it comes to how we’ve treated our planet and its inhabitants, human and otherwise. But I believe love is a better motivator than guilt. After all, when each of us was born (and this doesn’t just apply to humans), we fell madly in love with the world around us, were full of wonder and couldn’t get enough of it. It’s not too late to fall in love again. Let’s rediscover how magnificent and varied this planet is…and show it how we feel!

I’m assuming that some of the pictures are meant to be in juxtaposition to others? Interesting.

Yes. And there’s an intended order from start to finish, as well.

First you must learn to see. Then you can begin to appreciate and understand.

Great post of pictures showing the beauty and the ugly of our world—It certainly isn’t how the Lord created it.

I like the way you illustrate your point with the order and content of the photos!! We have been blessed with so much wonder and possibility! As long as we have breathe, there’s hope we can find our way back to that wonder and appreciation of beauty! Good stewardship!
