startups, and established companies with a focus on new technologies for environmental improvement have brought the same fog net harvesting systems to the dry lands of South America and the results are notable for the wellbeing and economic prosperity of the local populations. China and a number of countries in Asia and Africa have been reducing the surface of deserts within their vast territory by planting entire forests of drought resistant tree species, and installing green energy devices that make a real difference to diminish and even eliminate pollution in certain areas. We can all initiate and share green practices to better our own lifestyle, while conserving, restoring, and expanding plant and animal habitats. Champions of the environment Whether it’s about utilizing green energy and enhancing efficiency in one’s own home or financing various projects that are planet-friendly, anyone can do their part. It's simply common sense, and it starts with each personal contribution to the grand global ensemble. Community activities that bring people together to heal and beautify nature have become a regular feature of school programs and themed social gatherings. Anyone can be a tree hugger. Anyone can care for a little garden, clean a beach or a park, and adopt a piece of nature to tend to.
Major TV and cable programs regularly air shows that promote eco-tourism and sustainable living, while raising awareness and material support for this highly-important cause. Perhaps the most notable presence on such programming is Sir David Attenborough, who has been an environmental advocate for more than six decades. His continuing legacy has inspired many others who have followed in his footsteps, and it will inspire any such stewards yet to come. What future brings When citizens of all walks of life come together, individual and collective efforts add up for the greater good. The revival of nature is also our own. Let us all become “planeteers” in a greener, sustainable, near future. Let us turn Sahara’s vast, sandy dunes into permanent, lush oases. For our own sake, and for the sake of future generations in our world, we need to always be in touch with Mother Earth and her natural rhythm. It’s the best thing for us to do as a unified human species on this beautiful, blue planet. We can all take a moment, by day or by night, to feel and listen to the heartbeat, sounds, and music of the Earth: wind blowing, leaves rustling, raindrops pelting, insects chittering, birds chirping, and animals calling, so we can better hear people’s voices, heal our own souls, and align ourselves with the cycle of seasons, nature’s sacred calendar, for a higher global spirituality.
