Life is Precious
We need to think about care of our planet twenty four seven. Make 24th July A World Day easily remembered.
The title is an instruction and a demand... 24/7
There are so many ‘Days’ that are appropriated and unless you are specifically interested in that particular subject, the date is hard to remember. This one is different. ‘PoP’ day, otherwise known as ‘Think about your planet twenty four seven’ day !!
‘Protect our planet, twenty-four seven’ Day
‘Protect our planet’ day - is a concept that brings together the conservation, campaign and action groups on climate change and sustainability, under one roof and allows the general public to make sensible, rational decisions about how they can alter their lifestyle to help tackle the problem of climate change induced by human activity.
- It will help enable us to reach a more peaceful, sustainable and caring world.
- By being locally based and accessible, the events embrace community.
- It works like a franchise, except that it is freely provided.
- The events are like an advice centre brought to your doorstep.
This will be an educational day on human induced climate change and habitat destruction (HICC + HD).
PROTECT OUR PLANET 24/7 Day
‘Mankind will inherit the stars, but, first he must learn how to look after
his humble beginnings, our fragile Earth.’
Join us to promote this day and its sentiment
It is clear that we need to be caring for the planet that supports us, twenty four seven, i.e. at all times. That is why we call for 24th July annually to be designated 24/7 day. - PROTECT OUR PLANET. This is because we need to think about protecting life as we know it on our fragile life supporting world twenty four seven. A date that is easy to remember. 24/7 day 24th July every year. We take our world for granted, but, it needs loving care, just like us! The date is not only memorable, it is instructive!
WHAT WE ARE ABOUT
Life on Earth will not survive unless we get it into our mind-set to think about the planet 24/7.
We are the dominant species on the planet. We are part of the rich tapestry of life in a beautiful and fragile world.
We need to be thinking about, energy, water, waste, pollution, leisure pursuits, fellow humans, fellow creatures, land, sea and air. It’s down to us, all of us, as individuals and as collective groups.
We need to think about our planet, our world, 24 seven and then we have the chance to survive.
Peace, love and care not just on 24th July, but every day, 24/7.
When we are at our best we are loving, caring, inventive and resourceful. Let’s use these qualities to build a sustainable future for our generations to come.
Join us and join in on 24th July and make a commitment to consider life every day, 24/7.
On 24th July, help celebrate life on Earth in all its splendour and diversification.
