Mayabeque, Cuba: A satellite photo announced to the world this week that the earth began to look greener from above. The news can’t be better, there are many people in this world who bet everything so the living beings could have a common space that opens the doors to the future because of continuing the industrial irrationality of the great economic powers we will have very little to tell in the future.

Therefore, every action in favor of respecting the environment is part of those individual or collective moments that lead to preserve the planet earth. That's why I really appreciated the gesture of Gaby, a three-year-old girl who from time to time, with her mother's permission, waters the plants with her toy watering can.

I recalled in turn the text with which in 1854 the head of the tribes of the ancient settlers of the Northwest of the United States, Noeh Sielth, responded to the offer of President Franklin to buy their land and move all his people to a great reserve, which meant exile for all the members of the Indian tribes. In one of his paragraphs he said "every bright needle of the firs, every blade of grass in the meadow, every drop of rain, every clearing among the trees, every creature of the earth is sacred to my people."

It was a resounding response in such a distant date, I hope we can count today, when we are celebrating the World Environment Day, with many Noeh able to defend with bravery and extreme clarity the environment where we live.

Somehow, when Gaby raised her small watering can to water the plants in the yard, she gave life to what was said more than 165 ago to one of the most moving phrases in the history of environmentalism, because it conveys the enormous respect and immense love by nature.
