A Day of Mother Earth: Living in Harmony with Nature by Rene Wadlow 2020-04-22 04:47:16
International Mother Earth Day on 22 April each year was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2009. Its aim is to promote living in harmony with Nature and to achieve a just balance among the economic, social and environmental needs of present and future generations. The concept of living in harmony with Nature was seen by the U.N. delegates as a way "to improve the ethical basis of the relationship between humankind and our planet."
Today is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Started in 1970 in the wake of a number of environmental disasters, particularly the Santa Barbara, CA oil spill and burning of the Cuyahoga River in Ohio, both in 1969, it has grown into a worldwide movement.

Both agreed on a host of important socio-economic and security matters.
