Happy Mother's Day!
Happy mother's day to every mother on Earth. Mother's day is a celebration honouring the mothers of the family, it is the day to celebrate motherhood. Today is mother's day however in different places, this day is celebrated on different dates but mostly today 12 May.
Being a mother is no small deal. Mother's day was intentionally created by Jarvis as in one mom. There's a singular "Mother". But wait, we are forgetting the mother we have in common "Mother Earth". Mother nature or mother Earth is a personification of Earth that focuses on the life-giving and nurturing aspects of Earth by embodying it as a mother do.
Mother Earth is a common mother which also shows the interdependence of nations and interdependence of all species on Earth.
We also know our Earth as Home planet. But I think there is very much wrong with that. You can sell your home but not your parents. Speaking of this as our planet as home, how much is our home worth? There is a formula by which you can calculate the price of every astronomical body. But we are not talking about every other planet, we are talking about our planet and so far it is the costliest of all because of life-giving materials, resources and everything else it provides. According to an answer on Reddit, the price of Earth is $15,809,800,000,000,000,000,000 or $15.8 sextillion. He estimated this by resources that are available in the core and surface of Earth.
Human bodies are also very pricy. If you calculate the price of elements that your body consist of, it could worth 2000$.
So it is for sure we are not gonna sell this planet for now and so Mother Earth is a good fit. But as usual, my focus will go towards one of the very problems that our mother is facing and that is we all know Global Warming.
Global Warming and climate change are affecting each and every species here on Earth. Pollution means degradation of our Mother's surface and doesn't look cool and because of that, the price of Earth might fall down. Jokes apart, plastic pollution is also a rising threat. Not a single square kilometre of Earth's ocean is free from plastic. How horrific is this?
But there's a way we can stop this and the easiest way everyone can do it by going zero waste. There are 7.5 billion people on Earth and imagine a few millions of them going zero waste and that means a decrease in plastic waste and plastic production by a great number.
So, go green and Happy mother's day!

Our planet Earth is the only planet like itself in the universe. It has life, water, atmosphere and stability like no other planet in the universe. We have found many Earth-like planets revolving around stars but they didn’t have the stability needed to sustain life. Our solar system was created by a big bang explosion, an explosion which created this planetary arrangement. Every twists and turn in the story of Earth has shaped it like this. Jupiter is the planet that has protected us from meteors and other outer bodies with its gravitational forces. Our moon also plays an important role in stabilizing Earth’s rotation its axis. We are living on this lucky planet Earth. We are not so far from the sun so that life freezes and not too near to get burned.
Earth has its core-driven magnetic field which can hold up our atmosphere protecting us from outer space bodies and giving us life-supporting air. Earth is 4.5 billion years old. There are right now 8.7 million species on Earth and we humans are one of them. Homo sapiens mean we have been evolved from monkey species for over millions of years. Homo sapiens mean wise man. But here is the contradictory part; wise species can’t destroy their own planet. Mankind is about 140,000 years old.
If we consider the life of Earth as 24 hours, we are here for only 3 seconds. If we put the age on mankind in perspective, considering age on mankind as 10 minutes, the industrial revolution just happened 1 second ago. In 1 second we have emitted an uncontrollable amount of pollutants in the air and thrown over 4 trillion pieces of plastics on Earth. In 1 second, we haven’t considered thinking wisely because wisdom always believes in sustainable progress.
With our intelligence, we have built large cities, we have been to the moon and live in earth orbits, we have created intelligent robots that can do complex things, and we have created plastics. Plastic was created for the good of the environment but now it is spoiling it.
In one second, we have shown our intelligence but not wisdom. In one second we have affected each and every other species on Earth who are living here longer than us. We are bringing hundreds of species on the brink of extinction. This can’t be wisdom.
In one second, we have disturbed the food chains and stability of oceans. In one second, we have increased the temperatures all over. In one second, we have polluted almost all air particles in Earth’s atmosphere. In one second, we have changed courses of almost all rivers on Earth.
In one second, we have changed this planet with our intelligence. Now it’s our time to change!
