▎ Earth Day
Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection.
The unofficial Earth Flag created by John McConnell includes The Blue Marble photograph taken by the crew of Apollo 17.
This work idea come from Terry Pratchett's “Discworld” and the “World Turtle” of Hindu mythology.
The World Turtle, also called the Cosmic Turtle or the World-bearing Turtle, is a mytheme of a giant turtle supporting or containing the world. The World Turtle in Hindu mythology is known as Akūpāra (Sanskrit: अकूपार), or sometimes Chukwa. Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable lists, without citation, Maha-pudma and Chukwa as names from a "popular rendition of a Hindu myth in which the tortoise Chukwa supports the elephant Maha-pudma, which in turn supports the world".
The symbolism of the World Turtle prompts us to consider the delicate balance of our planet Ecology.
