Earth today, earth tomorrow

today's pictureToday we watch around us. What are we seeing is air pollution, water pollution, global climate change,despeciation, loss of habitat, chemistry and many others. Why is that?...We can all answer..It's our fault, it's human kind's fault..What are we doing it affects us and will affect, in the future our kids, our neighbours, relatives, friends, all the people. Is this our end?? I don't think so!! WE can change our future and our human's future with the inspired measures and with good people to lead us.

We are living at a very important time in Earth's history. The choices we make today will determine the future of life on Earth.

All people of Earth are in the same human family. People, plants, animals, soil, air, and water form one Earth community. We need to listen to and help one another and work together to protect our Earth community.
Earth, Our Home

Planet Earth is part of an amazing, vast universe. On this planet are many different kinds of plants, animals, and people - all linked to one another in a complex web of life. All forms of life depend on one another and on Earth's soil, air, and water. When one part is weak or unhealthy, all other parts are affected.

Earth provides everything we need. Every man-made thing started from something in nature. Plants and animals provide food and clothing. People build shelters using soil, clay, rock, trees, plants, and animal skins. People depend on air to breathe and on water for drinking, cleaning, growing plants, and more.

Problems on Earth

People have been wasting a lot of what they take from nature - plants, animals, water, metals, minerals, oil. Some of these precious resources nature can replace, but it often takes a long time. Others are irreplaceable. Many people use soil in ways that take away its life and allow it to be washed away where it clogs up rivers and lakes. Many industries release pollutants into air, water, and soil. While some people have much more than they need, many many others do not have enough food or clean water to stay healthy. Violence, such as war, destroys homes, health, and life.

What We Must Do

All people must join together to care for Earth and for one another. We have the scientific knowledge and means to clean up our air, water, and soil and to take care of everyone's basic needs. The principles of the Earth Charter show us what to do.

Just read one of the many problems we made :
Global Warming is caused by us. We use up energy. Too much energy. We drive instead of walking. W work in factories instead of planting trees. And all that energy goes into our Earth's O-Zone, and creates heat. And if we don't do something, The North and South Poles will start to melt, which will cause the oceans to rise, which will NOT be good for costal states like Florida. And YOU can help! All you need to do is start carpooling, and if you can walk, DO!!! Global Warming is starting to happen. The North and South Poles are really starting to melt..
