Verses by Dr Abe V Rotor
Earth Day is a time to reflect on our responsibility to the planet.

Books are back in school, our home and community;
     take the backseat electronic learning, we pray;
knowledge gained through short cut and easy way,
     is like clouds over parched land drifting away. 

 "Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed." - Mahatma Gandhi

 
The more senses we use in our study,
arduous and tough the lesson may be;
see, hear, touch, taste, smell to the full
with our mind, heart, body and soul.

“If the environment is happy, people will laugh and your grief will go away.”- Srinivas Mishra
Nature is the greatest teacher, 
and she is everywhere,
  ready to guide us to the answer;
   with tender love and care.

“The earth is always changing...readjusting to our existence. Each era is full of unique challenges”- Val Uchendu
  
“You don’t live on earth, you are passing through.”- Rumi
 
Science and literature make a loving pair,
     with the left and right brains together;
reason and creativity make an adventure
     exciting outdoor or in an armchair.

“We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.”- Albert Einstein
 
These science books are classics:
non-fiction, based on true story;
move over Rowling, Jules Verne;
welcome Teale, Fabre, Peattie.
 
“We are on Earth to take care of life. We are on Earth to take care of each other.”Xiye Bastida
  
“The time to answer the greatest challenge of our existence on this planet is now. You can make history or be vilified by it.”- Leonardo DiCaprio

“I firmly believe nature brings solace in all troubles.” —Anne Frank

Who owns life but the Great Creator,
     humble and benevolent to all?
And man, self-anointed guardian,
     claims his own, even after his Fall.

“To leave the world better than you found it, sometimes you have to pick up other people’s trash.” - Bill Nye ~
