Miss Earth SA #WorldEnvironmentDay Tree Planting

“The earth will not continue to offer its harvest, except with faithful stewardship. We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations.” ― Pope John Paul II

Today is World Environment Day and in honour of that my Miss Earth South Africa family were out in full force at Mondeor Primary planting trees. Thanks to the High Commission of Canada to South Africa, Sappi Southern Africa, Tsogo Sun and Makro who all supported Miss Earth SA’s tree planting today.

“The Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.” – Mahatma Gandhi

 

It’s 2 : 19 PM on day 2822 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse,  spend time outside – spending time outside this World Environment Day reinforced my belief that it it our responsibility both as individuals and as a collective to take care of our beautiful Earth (it is a privilege to live on Earth we should never abuse it),  have breakfast and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet –raised $14 669 only $4 081 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to reach my new goal of helping 75 kids with Clubfoot by June 17, 2018.

 

Today is World Environment Day and the 2018 theme is “Beat Plastic Pollution” let’s reflect on our environmental impact both as individuals and as a collective and decide to tread lightly on the Earth today and every day it’s the only home we have in this life. A huge shoutout to Miss Earth South Africa, Ella Bella and Catherine Constantinides  for whom EVERY DAY is #WorldEnvironmentDay I thank you and I LOVE YOU .

Day 2091: World Environment Day 2016

“The continued existence of wildlife and wilderness is important to the quality of life of humans.” – Jim Fowler

 

It’s 12 : 30  PM on day 2091 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Isaiah 60: 20, have breakfast, learn one new thing – This is an area of rotating thunderstorms with winds of 62 km/hr (38 mph) or less. A tropical depression becomes a tropical storm if its winds reach 63 km/hr (39 mph). A tropical storm becomes a hurricane if its winds reach 119 km/hr (74 mph).- and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign   – yesterday Anonymous donated $50 (thanks SO MUCH  Anon 🙂 )  which brings my total raised to $5 875 only $375 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 ) .
