Earth Day, committed to saving the planet, but for whom?

 Today is the 46th anniversary of Earth Day, a movement to inspire, challenge ideas, 
ignite passion, and  motivate people to action, a movement gave voice to an emerging consciousness, channeling human energy toward environmental issues. 

The objective was laudatory, but fifty years later while the "movement" continues to
believe its mission is to save the planet, around the world we see humanity is at greater risk then the Earth is.
