“Let’s nurture the nature so that we can have a better future.”
World Environment Day Slogan 2019
"Our planet, the earth, acknowledges nature’s omnipresent sovereignty. The kingdoms of the mineral, vegetable and animal respond to nature’s will and fiat of control. The great bulky elephant with its massive strength has no power to disobey the restrictions nature has laid upon him; but man, weak and diminutive in comparison, empowered by mind which is an effulgence of Divinity itself, can resist nature’s control and apply natural laws to his own uses."
Abdu’l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 351.
“We won’t have a society if we destroy the environment”.
Margaret Mead

In 1974, the United Nations declared June 5 World Environment Day in order to help educate humanity about its effect on its environment. Since that time, we have learned much about the way we human beings affect our environment for both good and bad. One of the ways we effect our environment is through air pollution, which also causes health problems in both humans and animals.
The World Environment Day theme is "Beat Air Pollution", which is caused by both humans and nature. While there is very little we can to to prevent nature's air pollution (volcanoes, dust storms, etc.), there is a great deal we can do to "Beat Air Pollution" by humans. Taking care of our environment will help both civilization and individuals grow physically, materially, and spiritually.
Many things humans do stress the environment, which in turn stresses humans and animals. One of those things, which, its self, is part of the environment is the climate. Global warming is becoming a problem, and, could be, bordering on an emergency. At least that is what several interfaith environmental organizations believe. Whether or not climate change is an emergency is up to each individual to determine for themselves.
God gave each of us a mind to use to investigate reality and any news items we read. World Environment Day is a good time to begin investigating those things that stress our environment, and come to our own conclusions. I can determine what I believe through investigation, prayer, and contemplation, but I can't tell anyone else what to believe because everyone has the ability to come to their own conclusions and opinions.
Please, let me know what you think about this, or any other issue. Do you have questions for me about what I believe that you would like answered?

Quick-Quill  writes: Alzheimer effects the brain. What God had settled in the heart cannot be touched. That relationship with him if set before the person gets the disease, cannot be taken away. I'v seen the same thing with may of our older saints in the church. They don't remember their family, but can sing hymns word for word or quote their favorite scripture all with the reader. God is faithful. While the evil is manifested on this earth as a way of destroying the mind, Our relationship with God cannot be touched by His decree. Look at Job. God allowed Satan to take his possessions and even attack his body, but he could not touch his life or his relationship with God. Hold fast to your faith in spite of the storm around you.

She couldn't remember her children's names and so many other things but she never forgot to love. To me, that is a wonderful legacy. I will always love her!
