Save Mother Earth
The way we think about nature affects both our individual and social decisions. Various things may be affected, from the kind of food that we eat, to the products we buy, and locations we may attend. Different people have different feelings and ideas towards things. Some are concerned in preserving and protecting the earth; others don't care about the subject and believe it doesn't make a difference. The fact is, as everyday goes by the earth is being destroyed more and more; and we need more people to care. The point being not only to care for the earth, but care for yourself. Earth is the place you now call "home."
A person who is extremely concerned in protecting the earth, for example, is more likely to use recycled products and won't use aerosol sprays that would destroy the o-zone layer. Unfortunately, not all people act in that manner. Others will disregard the damages that are being done to our environment and are more concerned with their own comforts and luxuries. Many forget the fact that our natural resources are limited and that we use we have to replace what we use. But in this fast paced world environment we are living in, we are using more than we are replacing and we are not giving the earth enough time to replenish itself.
Protecting the earth doesn't mean only protecting the rainforest. Many believe that by just keeping from chopping down trees and digging for gold will save the earth. Don't get me wrong it will help a lot but "girls" what about that top of the line makeup kit you bought last week? Did you notice if it contained any whale fat? Was it animal tested? "Guys" have you checked that your new cool exhaust & nitro system in your car was polluting the air? There are many things that one can do to help our environment; the animals, keeping our streets clean, using products that are not hazardous to the earth. Many times, it is not on purpose that we are killing animals and destroying our resources. Don't take things for granted, think

    Nature is important! We all need to take care of it. To help you understand, I will compare how two books, Just a dream and The Great Kapot tree, teach the same theme, that nature is important. If you see trash on the ground, pick it up and help other people understand the theme of these two books.…

    We put human wants before thinking how it will badly affect the environment. We cut down forests to build houses to live in, buildings to work in, malls to shop in and many other things. By cutting down those forests, we are cutting down the homes of other species because we need the space to build something we, humans, want. We build factories that let out smog in the air to create product we, humans, want or to earn money off of. We seem to think that human life is entirely separate from nature because we don’t see the effects of what we do that harms…

    The environment offers essential resources, like nutrients that are recycled to keep soil fertile, biological services, such as providing the global pollination of crops that we depend on for food, and natural improvements for our quality of life, such as controlling the chemistry of the atmosphere. These resources are vital to the survival of the human race, and are often taken for granted. Humans are constantly using these products and amenities to assist in their lives and consequently creating wastes that are put back into their surroundings. All people have the potential to impact the environment, both positively and negatively, directly affecting their resources available to them and the quality of life for themselves and all people on…

    There is one Earth. All people who live on it have to share it, not only with those living today, but with those in centuries to come. What is done today will manifest itself tomorrow, affecting someone, somewhere. Many don’t think about their actions because what they do might not affect them in their own lifetime. As Pope Francis said, “We received this world as an inheritance from past generations, but also as a loan from future generations, to whom we will have to return it!” It is easy to harm the environment because many are ignorant of the consequences of their actions, which have become very routine. Changes in the individual mindset can put into motion a chain reaction. One person can influence many others, and one small change can make a big difference. There have been many figures throughout history that have been great examples of how important it is to respond to the call the Pope has made for environmental action and protection. Some influential activists have been Julia Hill and Wangari Maathai, both being very inspiring through their actions. People should heed…

Probability not, nowadays people are more careless about the environment. Sadly, because of our actions the world is being destroyed.

    World Popuation in 1970

    • 2 Pages

    As the global population expanded at an unprecedented rate, humans fundamentally changed their relationship with the environment. Human’s population growth changed their relationship with the environment for the worse and did not change until environmental issues were realized and people realized they needed to do something to stop more environmental damage to the earth. Humans exploited and competed over the earth’s finite resources more intensely than ever before inhuman history. Also, global warming was a major consequence of the release of greenhouse gases and other pollutants into the atmosphere. However, in the 1970s governments took initiatives to preserve and protect the environment.…

    Eco Narrative

    To be honest, I never really have put much thought into the environment and how every little thing we do affects it in some way. Coming in to college and taking my environmental biology class and now watching the documentary in this class has opened my eyes to some realities about the world we live in today, such as, half of the forests that originally covered 46% of the Earth's land surface are gone. Only one-fifth of the Earth's original forests remain pristine and undisturbed. Furthermore 60% of the world's coral reefs that contain up to one-fourth of all marine species could be lost in the next 20-40 years. Those are things that I would have never imagined, especially growing up in the area I was raised in it was pretty much all pasture and clean springs. But that’s the reality that no one seems to want to really hear. If we took some of these statistics seriously and did just a few small things to help our environment that we supposedly love it would make a much bigger difference than everyone probably thinks.…

    Essay on Anthropocentrism

    • 251 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The first reason I think this is because when we uphold anthropocentric ideals, we toss the environment to the curve, and as a result all of creation suffers. Second, I believe that when we live for exclusively our own self-interest, we only speed up the process of ecological destruction. If we shared our “stuff” and food with each other and the rest of the world, we could significantly reduce our impact. Third, I believe that even if we are ethical and environmentally conscious as individuals, it will not be enough. If one is sold on ecological salvation but still clings to individual self-interest, then they won’t have the ability to create serious and measurable change. The example of one farmer out of several deciding not to dump waste in a close by water reserve rings true to this idea. Community interaction and a removal of our attachment to our own private benefits is essential in working towards a better cleaner earth.…

    Passion for Environment

    I believe the level of attention given to saving the environment is extremely low. Humans don’t seem to be concerned all that about the environment. We are taking advantage of the environment for our own selfish reasons, and don’t realize the consequences. Maybe if we just had enough knowledge about the environment, or if we just changed our way of thinking, things could be different. However it’s still not too late, we can make a difference for people who live in this lifetime, and for people who will live in this world after us. Our children, and grant children. Who will have to address this issue if we don’t change our way of thinking. Daniel Quinn and Rachel Carson are passionate about the environment because of the impact that sustainability and population control will bring.…

    The World would be a better place if the environment that we’re living was clear. According to me, our life is threatened and our environment isn’t healthy for us to live anymore. Air, soil, and water in many parts of the earth were seriously polluted by industrial and chemical waste. Because of increasing amounts of carbon dioxide, global warming has occurred. It led to a lot of effects. It makes the climate change. As a result, flooding, hurricane, tsunamis, tornados, and cyclone happen everywhere which killed a great number of people and destroyed many buildings, bridges, and roads. Also, in recent times, glaciers have been melting faster. This makes sea levels and sea temperature increase rapidly. Many lands near the sea were disappeared around the world. This news seemed to be an urgent alarm for everyone.…

    The root cause, which I agree with would be, “Religious teachings.” Many individuals believe that our planet has an unlimited supply of resources, due to a higher power. However, many would argue that all religious groups have traditionally expressed some ethical concern for the environment and its creatures. I also denial is a major root cause, to many of environmental issues today. Many individuals believe, if they ignore the problem it will go away or fix itself. However, simply ignoring a problem does not fix it, but in time the problem grows. One root cause I disagree with would be “laws and regulations.” Many laws have been created to help preserve our environment. Although many individuals do not obey these laws, they are there to protect our environment. If these laws are broken, people may be fined, which encourages them to follow the law.…

    All in all, the Earth is our home, and there is nothing bad if someone tries to make it cozier. Like the children of the nature, people are created to live within verdure and clean neighborhood. Let’s face the fact that if we plant more trees and clean the litter in the streets, our everyday life will seem a bit better and at least we will feel the energy in the air, together with fresh air and plenty of trees.…
