In the West, New Year is celebrated on 1 January, but few people realize that this is actually a Christian celebration that commemorates the circumcision of baby Jesus.
Snip, snip. The biosphere is dying. New Year is an auspicious event. We can't be messing around with foreskin day, anymore.
It is time to reinvent New Year.
We ought to celebrate New Year on a date that advances the conversation about Vitae-planeta and the Verdant Age.
Vita Sapien suggests that New Year falls on 16 July at 9.29pm AEST.
9.29pm AEST 16 July
In 1945 in New Mexico, USA the first nuclear explosion was detonated - the Trinity Bomb Test.
This event is significant because radioactive contamination from atmospheric bomb tests has been identified as a potential chemical marker of the beginning of the Anthropocene Epoch, and this was the first such bomb test.
The beginning of the Anthropocene Epoch is the point at which humans overtook Vitae-planeta as the key driver of Earth processes.
Earth New Year inspired the Vita Worldview Practice called Reinvent New Year that calls upon us to reinvent all institutions to have them help advance the Verdant Age.
