The BARD on Earth Day. Shakespeare in Love (with AI)

I’ve been soliciting the sage advise and wise words of the BARD recently… 

I got my new best buddy Bard (AI from Google)
to help with two blogs: World
Water Day 2023: Accelerating Change
on March 22 and Earth
Day 2023: Invest in our Planet
on April 22. 

But, William Shakespeare would be 459 years olde today (~23 April 1564 — 23 April 1616), so I wondered what “The Bard” would have to say? On the comings and goings of Earth Day?  The question asked:

What would Shakespeare say about Earth Day?

Shakespeare was
a man of the natural world. He wrote about it often in his plays and poems, and
he seemed to have a deep appreciation for its beauty and power. I think he
would be proud of the way we have come together to celebrate Earth Day, and he
would encourage us to continue to do everything we can to protect our planet.

Here is a poem
I wrote that imagines what Shakespeare might say about Earth Day:

O Earth, thou
art our mother,

And we are thy
children.

We are grateful
for thy bounty,

And we vow to
protect thee.

 

We will not
pollute thy waters,

Nor foul thy
air.

We will not cut
down thy forests,

Nor kill thy
animals.

 

We will live in
harmony with thee,

And we will
work to make thee a better place for all.

 

For thou art
our home,

And we are thy
caretakers.

We will not
fail thee.

I hope you like
it.

    Garbage-patch tale as flimsy as a single-use plastic bag – SFGate: So the GREAT Pacific Garbage Patch is not real… Or maybe not nearly as big as originally expected. Saunders does a great job of attaching the myth behind the original reports of “the size of Texas” and such. Great sources of info included. But now I’m really worried. The amount of plastic floating in the oceans amount to only (right, only) 7,000 to 35,000…

    Wind And Solar Will Soon Become The ‘Least-Cost Option’ – Yahoo Finance

    Wind And Solar Will Soon Become The ‘Least-Cost Option’ – Yahoo Finance: It is interesting how quickly the prices of wind and solar have been dropping and are expected to continue. Obviously, these must be only a part of the solution, unless batteries get to be a whole lot better, a whole lot faster. (Maybe?). The wind doesn’t always blow, and the sun doesn’t always shine. One savings for solar, is that it doesn’t need…

  1. AND What would Jesus say? … according to Bard AI…
    Jesus was a man who loved the natural world. He often taught his followers about the importance of caring for creation, and he showed them how to live in harmony with nature.

    I think Jesus would be very supportive of Earth Day. He would see it as a day to celebrate the beauty of our planet and to commit ourselves to protecting it. He would remind us that we are all stewards of creation, and that we have a responsibility to care for it for future generations.

    Here is what I think Jesus might say about Earth Day:

    "The Earth is my Father's creation, and it is a gift to us all. We are called to care for it, to protect it, and to use it wisely. On this Earth Day, let us recommit ourselves to these responsibilities. Let us work together to make our planet a better place for all."

    I hope you have a happy Earth Day!
