It's time that Mom gets a little more appreciation.
Ask any mother and she will tell you: It's not easy being a mother. It's not just the nine months of pregnancy or even the delivery; it's the commitment that goes with nurturing a child and providing for its future. And if the child does not return the mother's love, it becomes a thankless job. Just ask Mother Earth.
For four and a half billion years Mother Earth has been doing her best to nurture life, but it's not easy being a single mom, even when you're a planet. For the first couple billion years, conceiving was impossible. Literally. Molten temperatures and a toxic atmosphere made it pretty tough to string together the nucleic acids and conditions that would make life possible, but with a little help from water-laden comets, Mother Earth finally got the job done, and about 600 million years ago complex life forms finally emerged.
Still, it's been tough. Making plant life abundant required the slow accumulation of topsoil. For animal life to prosper, more oxygen in the atmosphere was required. Then, just when life was flourishing, a comet crashed into the Earth and caused a mass extinction. And now Mother is struggling to support 7 billion humans, the most affluent of which are rapidly depleting the Earth's resources, and the poorest of which are struggling desperately to survive.
To make matters worse, Mother Earth is having to deal with another mass extinction. Climate change, loss of habitat, invasive species and other factors are hastening the loss of plant and wildlife. And caring for those 7 billion humans is not getting any easier either. Droughts, flooding, water shortages, desertification, and the continuing loss of topsoil are putting a strain on Mother's ability to feed a growing world population.
And you think raising a couple of kids is hard.
There are a lot of things that we could do to make life easier for Mother Earth, such as curbing greenhouse gas emissions, preserving crucial bio-habitats, reducing pollution, and stopping the over-fishing of the oceans.
But here's a Mother's Day thought: we can also help Mother Earth by taking better care of mothers.
If we meet the UN's goal of ensuring universal access to family planning and reproductive health services, there will be fewer unintended pregnancies and projected population growth rates will fall, easing the strain on Mother Earth. The unmet need for family planning is large. Even in the U.S., almost half of all pregnancies are unintended. In the developing world, the UN estimates that there are 215 million women who want to avoid a pregnancy, but who are not using a modern method of contraception.
By providing women with better access to contraceptives and reproductive health services, we not only lower birth rates; we reduce maternal mortality. In sub-Saharan Africa, a woman has a 1 in 16 chance of dying in pregnancy or childbirth, and in areas where child marriage is still prevalent, the rate of adolescent pregnancies is actually rising. Even if young girls survive giving birth, they can still suffer severe medical complications.
A recent one-hour documentary, Mother: Caring for 7 Billion, does a marvelous job of drawing the not-so-obvious connection between caring for mothers and caring for Mother Earth. It's a powerful and hopeful message, and in celebration of mothers worldwide, the producers of the film are streaming it for free from their website this Mother's Day at www.motherthefilm.com .
Our mothers, including Mother Earth, have done their best to nurture and care for us. It's time to return the favor.
Will the profit science ruin the lives of vaccinated children, even one is too many and we have millions already vaccine damaged.
Organic Sulfur a crystal food can and has addressed stupidity of the first order of the Spectrum of Autism and Alzheimer's all of which are vaccine caused, by the heavy metals "necessary" to preserve the vaccines.
Most of these boys from Brazil are not mothers, when we tell these mothers who know mothers who have a loved one lost in their own mind it could get dicey. War on mothers, you must have missed the Amazon Women from the Avocado Jungle of Death.
In the hood, talking trash about my momma could be terminal.
The kids and seniors suffering from not being here, those who love them please contact the Cellular Matrix Study, we believe organic sulfur a crystal food can bring them back, they don't know where they have been too loud too bright, but back is alright with us and those mothers who can rejoice the lost have been found.
Happy Mother's Day.
