Our planet earth cries out. Is anyone listening? Our failure to hear the cries has pre-destined our demise. Refuse to treat the planet earth the way it needs to be treated, and we seal our own fate. We have completely altered earth’s health, result from a course of growth, and development, and its ability to defend, or protect itself. In turn losing its ability to protect us, feed us and allow us to flourish. We were supposed to consider the planet, before we consider ourselves.
The planet “allows” us to exist here because of its own specific components, which we have basically destroyed, and keep destroying. Man made these decisions for totally selfish, self serving reasons. There was no board meeting for debate whether these choices were acceptable to earth. There was absolutely no consideration for earth whatsoever. People of earth were given life because of the Earth, and sun. Out utter indifference to that fact, is where the wrong path for mankind was chosen.
The planet earth provides us with every necessary component, nutrient, cure, and element to sustain life for millions of years, and beyond. Our lack of fore site, our sheer ignorance, and continued indifference has caused, and will continue to cause extreme permanent damage. We were supposed to live off the earth, and gear things in such a way as to allow the planet to flourish, in turn allowing us to flourish in harmony.
Gear your life around “Only What Grows from the Earth”. We already have all the replacements for everything from oil, to heating, to electric, etc. If our concentration were geared towards more land oriented production, to feed the planet, and replenishing the planet, we could survive, and Mother Earth would blossom and flourish. We have a vast array of options which would be beneficial for both human survival, and Earth’s preservation. We just need to wake up and realize each small family unit can make a huge difference by making all the necessary changes starting right at home.
So, care about our beautiful planet, and let our children, grandchildren, can look back in history, and be thankful that we corrected it before it was too late. Let’s “Get Up”, and fight for our Mother Earth.

Thank you, Jen, for this heart-felt statement. I especially appreciate the sentence, "The planet 'allows' us to exist here because of its own specific components, which we have basically destroyed, and keep destroying."
That's the key, right? We are tenants on earth -- or as Krauthammer might say, "wards," and not the other way around: We are not masters. As tenants we need to do more to show our gratitude.
I suppose this is your response, or reaction, to the article we read. To solidify the connection between your opinion and the article, you could have mentioned that your view might be encapsulated in this way.
In any case, thank you, as always, for your dedication to our dialogue, learning in general and the development of your skills. I really appreciate the way that you have participated in module discussions, both online and in class, during this term!
beautiful picture you have.
I believe that to fight for Mother Earth we need to be the Earth itself. just like to fight for right of anything we need to be the right ourselves, so that other will be convinced.
I love the earth. I seldom 'take away' in restaurant because it simply create more rubbish; I always turn off the light and fan in my cluster kitchen which always being left over by the one who turn it on.
Still, I use tissue instead of handkerchief.
Love the earth, is so easy and yet so hard.
Take care of Mother Earth like our own mothers. That will hlep us doing our best to protect Mother Earth.
