Earth Day 2019: A Celebration Around the World

    

Earth Day is celebrated around the World

and 

The focus of Earth Day 2019 is "Protect Our Species" 

All of our plants and animals have value in themselves and are part of the web of life. Our lives and theirs are linked together inextricably — without them, our own species might not survive.

The Facts: Declining and Endangered Species

• Land-dwelling wildlife species have declined by 40% since 1970.
• Marine animal populations have fallen by 40% overall.
• Birds populations have been reduced by about 20-25%.
• Freshwater animal populations have plummeted by 75% since 1970.
• Insect populations have also declined dramatically. In Germany alone, insects have declined by 75% in the last 30 years.
• Almost fifty percent of the world’s coral reefs have died in the last 30 years.

 We’re all connected: We need to collectively support natural ecosystems, so they can continue to sustain life on earth.




 

So our entry into the Project Run and Play Challenge could be worn at the celebration of 

 Earth Day 2019

 because it celebrates the ecosystem of the mountains and the animals that live there.

This comfortable cotton lyrca fabric

  features beautifully muted coloration.

The pattern was self-drafted to show off the layers of colors and the silhouette of the mountain forests at the bottom of each leg. 

 

Notice the mountain lion
