1000 Flowers for the Planet #623 Observe Inventors Day
Today is Inventor’s day – well it is in Argentina. Not every
country recognises Inventor’s Day, which is celebrated on different dates in
various countries around the world. 29th September is the birthday of
the inventor of the ballpoint pen, László József Bíró. Each country celebrates
the day for a different reason and in different ways.
This flower
suggestion is for all of us everywhere to celebrate inventors and their gifts
to humanity, particularly those ideas that will create a better future. We need inventors, particularly as we head
into the future with an awareness of how much damage is being done to the
planet by our current actions. We need inventors to create sustainable energy
sources, sustainable farming and building practices, ways to stop encroaching
on natural habitats, ways to live in harmony with the planet – there’s a lot of
work to be done. Let’s encourage more inventive thought, at every level, and
take care of this planet better than ever.
