EARTH DAY

Hello people!! How are you doing? I hope you guys enjoy this post about the Earth Day!! Let's practice, study and share our ideas to help the planet!! 

EARTH DAY
 


Every year on April 22nd  we remember to take care of our planet, it’s the EARTH DAY. We can help our planet by following these rules: REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE;




Reduce: it means to use less.
We can use less energy, water, turn off the lights to use less electricity, etc.



Reuse: it means to use again.
We can reuse many things such as jars, bags and boxes, etc.



Recycle: it means to make something new from something old.
Recycle bottles and paper, donate old clothes, recycle garbage to reduce land pollution.



On Earth Day, we remind ourselves that we MUST take care of our PLANET!!



In 1995 Michael Jackson released a song called “EARTH SONG” and this amazing song tells exactly what we are facing nowadays. It’s a great and one of my favorite songs of the King of Pop. Let’s check the video!!



When Michael Jackson was rehearsing the Earth Song to sing in his last tour, he said a nice quote about it! Let's check it!!

“I respect the secret and the magic of nature,that's why I get so angry when it happens, every second a size of a football field is torn down in Amazon. It bothers me.That's why I write these kind of songs that gives a sense of awareness, awakeness and hope to people. The planet is sick, like a fever if we don't save it now there is a point of no return,this is our last chance to fix the problem that we have and when the time comes,THIS IS IT!!!It starts with us, it's us.


CURIOSITIES!! Let's check the video!!

Let's listen and practice with this beautiful and great poem also written by Michael Jackson. The title is "Planet Earth".

Planet Earth, my home, my place
A capricious anomaly in the sea of space
Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.

In my veins I've felt the mystery
Of corridors of time, books of history
Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood
Have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood
Your misty clouds, your electric storm
Were turbulent tempests in my own form
I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet
Of every encounter, of passion, of heat
Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste
Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste
In your beauty, I've known the how
Of timeless bliss, this moment of now

Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid
Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart gentle and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
Planet Earth, gentle and blue
With all my heart, I love you

 Let's check the poem video!!





Thanks people!! I hope you enjoy and practice it!! Let's save the planet!!
