Earth Day Poem By Hillol Ray Adapted In “Character

By
James Butler
The celebration of Earth Day in and around the month of
April has become a global event in each year. Initiated in
1970, the Earth Day activities over the years have expanded
into many remote areas and developing countries to create
awareness about the protection of planet Earth. In this
connection, Hillol Ray (HR), the Poet of Ecology,
Neuroscience, and Human Rights (HR), skillfully and
articulately composed the world renowned “Earth Day” poem
that has achieved and continue to receive global accolades
since April 22, 1995.
Today, I am proud to share and announce that the Broward
County of Florida, U.S.A. has adapted the Earth Day Poem by
Hillol Ray as part of a lesson plan in its curriculum to
plant the seeds of awareness among students in Elementary
Schools. The Broward County School District serves 250
schools in the State of Florida. The aforementioned poem,
displayed on the April 2004 newsletter* was released during
Earth Day Celebrations this year, and Seventeen Thousand
(17,000) hard copies were distributed throughout the school
system. The message at the bottom of this newsletter
indicates, “ This public document was promulgated at a cost
of $815.44 or $0.048 per copy to inform the public about
environmental issues”.
Congratulations, Hillol. Please continue your lifelong
missions of creating global awareness through your magical
poems, and touch the present and future humanity. Let your
poems be the ringing affirmations of hope and destiny of
mankind.

Earth Day 2004 Celebration
Speech Delivered By Hillol Ray, the Keynote Speaker
At EPA Region III in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. on
April 20, 2004
"Good morning everyone.
Thank you Mr. Damm**, for honoring me with your
introduction. Let me begin by expressing my appreciation to
Ms. Bonnie Lomax, for inviting me to join with you in
celebrating Earth Day 2004. And, of course, I also thank
each of you, both for the incredible work you are doing to
protect the environment, and for taking the time to attend
this program today.
It's a privilege for me to speak to an audience of
professionals and experts in the field of environmental
affairs, both from within and outside of EPA Region III.
Since its inception in 1970, public celebrations of Earth
Day have spread across the globe , signaling a remarkable
awareness of the need to protect our "Blue Planet." For me,
this visit to Philadelphia inspires feelings of
a "Homecoming." In fact, it was just over twenty-nine years
ago that I first landed in America, right here in
Philadelphia, having traveled halfway around the world from
my home in Calcutta, India - the land of Bengal Tigers. I
still vividly remember, how I adapted to this new land
since my arrival.
Without question, the past thirty four years have yielded
an impressive set of environmental standards, which on
paper have won national assent, and most of which are now
enshrined in legally binding covenants. But the greater
challenge is to entrench these standards, and above all, to
see them implemented in practice. EPA has been on the
forefront of efforts to carry out such Herculean tasks, and
the evidence lies all around.
Unfortunately, the problem of environmental degradation is
particularly acute in the developing world. Access to safe
drinking water, sanitation, breathable air, and pollution
free soil continues to be but a hope for the people of
poorer nations.
Given my educational background and my experience in the
environmental field, the root causes of such degradation
profoundly moved me – - in an almost spiritual way. And
with some initial apprehension, in 1976, I set out like a
Bengal Tiger to create global awareness through my poems on
environmental themes. Still there are many environmental
and public health challenges that we need to wrestle with.
It is my sincere hope that my poems will somehow instill a
sense of the urgency with which we must act to sustain our
planet for humanity.
Please remember, our lives no longer belong to the local
environment we live in; rather they belong to all those
living in degraded environments who need us desperately as
a savior for their environment of today and tomorrow.
So, with that frame of reference, let me share a glimpse of
my heart through my didactic poems about environmental
awareness.
I would like to open my readings with "Earth Day" poem,
followed by other poems on various environmental issues.
Before I begin, let me say “thanks” to Mr. Mckenty, for
providing background music through his CD. I hope, you
enjoy the poems, and thank you once again for your kind
attention."
