Our power, our planet

Power can be used for great woe; power can also be used for great wonder. As we mark Earth Day today on 22 April, let us reflect on our deep dependence on Mother Earth and renew our commitment to safeguarding her for future generations. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the energy we consume, and the natural resources we rely on are shared by all. Meaningful change, therefore, begins with each of us through our everyday habits and decisions.

It was heartening to witness how simple acts of kindness inspired others to come forward to give on their own initiative.
