Earth Day in Nemėžis

Our Earth is beautiful

And the dearest because ours.

Good as mother’s eyes,

when they look at us.

Here we grow,

here every day

play invites us,

here the sun wakes us up,

our sun in the morning.

On 20^th March we celebrate Earth Day. On this important day we all should think about the planet we live in and nature around us.

The nursery school pupils from Nursery school-crèche in Nemėžis also solemnized the celebration of Earth Day. This year’s celebrations were spread out over a few days and ran under the slogan “Our Earth”. The children were talking about environmental protection, respect for nature and the methods for preventing its destruction. In our institution we make the pupils aware that a different-looking person is the person same as us.

The children from all playgroups swore an oath to respect the natural environment and those values that should be passed on to others.

Each of us is an inhabitant of this planet and therefore each of us should feel responsible for its condition since our lives are dependent on it. The earth feeds us and is the essence of our existence – ours and our children. For this reason we must take care of it, not only on those days in March, but also every other day. Each depends on one and the same earth and that is why we have to take care of it, no matter who we are, how old are we or how and where we live!!!
