April 22: Earth Day


For this Earth Day 2018 we are reminded once more to take care of our planet contributing the best we can with civic measures for environmental protection (recycling, avoiding the use of plastic bags when possible, use our potable water sensibly, etc.) and the defense of the eco system (protecting endangered species, encouraging green zones in cities and the like). Regarding the science fiction genre many literature works and movies have been made showing the terrible effects of the human impact in planet Earth. Here are a few I would recommend:

Pebble in the Sky (1950, Isaac Asimov)

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984, Dir. Hayao Miyazaki)

Waterworld (1995, Dir. Kevin Reynolds)

Princess Mononoke (1997, Dir. Hayao Miyazaki)

The Day After Tomorrow (2004, Dir. Roland Emmerich)

Casshern (2004, Dir. Kazuaki Kiriya)

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008, Dir. Scott Derrickson)

Finally, this is my illustration for Earth Day & my first novel The Guardians of the Earth Type Planets. My first novel shows many environmental issues that I was concerned about when I wrote it. The six guardians need to find out about the dead planet Mortal while at the same time during the journey they have to protect their planet Twinmortal.😍💗🌌
