What better day to publish an issue than on the one day that best celebrates nature in all its glory? I am so thankful to see optimistic, beautiful earth day posts popping up all over social media, honoring the very miracles we get to see every single day…just by walking outside.
It makes me think of all the beauty and recognition we could be spreading every day, but instead choose to talk about which celebrity is dating who now, or which product will transfer fat from our bellies to our…well, you see where I’m going with this.
I mean, why is it that that is all we care about? The beautiful environment we have been praising and admiring all day today could be, wait no, IS collapsing around us and we don’t even care. We have become blind to reality and naive to what the future holds if we don’t start focusing on how to keep the world as beautiful as we see it today.
Imagine what it could be like if we were as in-tune with nature every day as we are today – if we actually had nature’s back? It would be invincible. We would be invincible.
This very short introductory issue serves as an example of how even the smallest of steppingstones can spark a revolution. Just reading this might spark a match in someone and make them think differently about how they see the world. I wanted to write this short piece introducing my volume, “Nature Prevails,” to outline why I am even writing this series. The first step in environmental preservation is education and generating an emotion, and passion, for the subject.
There is no doubt about it that, without education, the very concept of knowledge would cease to exist; whether you are educating yourself through observation or a brilliant teacher is educating you based on theirs. We must rely on the failures of the past to understand how to shape the future; so, I will be diving much deeper into this topic in my first issue and hope to create a storyline of information you all can follow along with throughout the volume, to fully grasp every sector of environmental education that needs to be addressed and conquered.
I hope I’ve got you thinking, because there’s a lot more where this came from…stay tuned for Nature Prevails: “Social Media and Education Infrastructure.”
