Seeing that we are all part of Mother Earth, we must thankfully recognize that she have continuously provided us shelter and nourishment. We should also be aware that through human modernization and capitalism that have affected, exploited, abused and contaminated nature. These have caused great damage, ruin, and disruption of our Mother Earth, hitting us back hard through what we have come to know as the climate change.
It is our duty to create consciousness, to take a decisive action, and to change our system and structures that causes climate change and other dangers to Mother Earth.
In light to these we must acknowledge that every individual or institution has a responsibility to promote awareness through teaching, respect, and oversee the care for nature. This is why the Earth Day Network Philippines is hosting the Pro Earth Run 2015.
