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.
