I am Mother Earth. I have beautiful children: Wind (Air), Water, Fire, and Soil. My beautiful and beloved offspring are harmed daily by reckless and thoughtless individuals.
Wind, my cherished daughter, flies over pollution-riddled factories every day. She returns home with her skirt stained black. Water, another daughter of mine, has her visage obscured by plastic and garbage, rendering her unable to even see the fish.
One of my children is Soil, who suffers from parched lips, and there is my daughter Fire, who, due to the negligence of earth's inhabitants, inadvertently kindles her presence in the forests daily.
My existence depends on my children's well-being, and likewise, the lives of Earth's people depend on theirs. I hope we can support each other.
"Mother Earth" is a series intended to display our planet's beauties and inspire us to join forces in ridding the Earth of garbage.
