Real Academia Española. Día Internacional de la Madre Tierra - 22 de abril. «Madre Tierra» es una expresión común utilizada para referirse al planeta Tierra en diversos países y regiones, lo que demuestra la interdependencia existente entre los seres humanos, las demás especies vivas y el planeta que todos habitamos. La Tierra y sus ecosistemas son nuestro hogar. Para alcanzar un justo equilibrio entre las necesidades económicas, sociales y ambientales de las generaciones presentes y futuras, es necesario promover la armonía con la naturaleza y el planeta. Celebramos el Día Internacional de la Madre Tierra para recordar que el planeta y sus ecosistemas nos dan la vida y el sustento. Con este día, asumimos, además, la responsabilidad colectiva, como nos recordaba la Declaración de Río de 1992, de fomentar esta armonía con la naturaleza y la Madre Tierra.

Este día nos brinda también la oportunidad de concienciar a todos los habitantes del planeta acerca de los problemas que afectan a la Tierra y a las diferentes formas de vida que en él se desarrollan.

Of course, doctors don’t want to die; they want to live. Almost all medical professionals have seen what we call “futile care” being performed on people.
