I got this from somewhere the author is unknown: "When the last tree is cut; the last fish is caught; the last river is polluted... only then that man can realize that he cannot eat his money." - Anonymous Please let us take care of our environment before it is too late...

don't use pollutants... don't use cellophane... don't burn garbage... let garbage decompose and use it as fertilizer...

It is attributed to a native American. I don't know what tribe. I agree with taking care of our land, our water and our air. But not by government taxation of these precious resources or taxing our use of energy.

Yes, money is of no value , when the earth we live in will be no more. Let's all help in greening this mother earth once more, so those floods could be prevented in one way or another.

Hello, I'm glad to have this topic around for discussing options. ENVIRONMENT-comprising all the living and non-living things,is a place where all these interact.So we are entirely dependent on plants and animals.It's an ECOSYSTEM that involves chains everywhere.None can survive on their own.So this earth is entirely a chain of organisms depending on each other for their food or whatever.But we find everything depleting now,especially the natural resources that have once proved to be the only cause for life existence in our EARTH..The trees,plants,water,rivers,seas,oceans,glaciers,ice,the SUN--gives us light and heat and everything else including the AIRare all natural and are found appropriatelyin this EARTH rather than anywhere else.-it's out HOMEWe need to preserve it, but then,are we? Recent news' says something else.There's a hole in ozone upon the skies of ANTARCTICA!what does this eventually lead to?Nothing but the ULTRA-VIOLET rays entering our earth,and causing a variety of diseases including cancers. There's a slogan,not my own though.. Don't be MEAN-go GREEN! don't be so hollw,you'll be swallowed we should be the GREEN team,not the mean ones.. take part in saving home,Will it pay in future sure What are the causes?The first one--is it pollution? Huh! a definite yes to it! pollution is bad, makes the earth MAD !! And you know what,all these kinds o' pollution-The land,air,water etc are in our earth! (nothing surprising,that's why we know about 'em!)We should follow these "R's" *Reduce *Reuse *Recycle This pollution is becoming so a major cause.Land pollution due to the usage of insecticides and pesticides,and water pollution due to the relase of toxic chemicals from industries to all the rivers and lakes.Air pollution--use of vehicles--increased levels of CARBON DI-OXIDE--Global warming issue.Our earth's burning.And we've noise pollution as well.Everything's contributing to the depletion-!We donot inherit this world from our ancestors-we just have borrowed it from our children-it's never ours! "If you want things to change,you can do it,really,we're responsible for the earth,you and me,not tomorrow-but TODAY! A few lines,worth reading though: MANKIND!Long before your birth, Alluring was the beauty of the EARTH! Our world is always changing, Constantly Re-Arranging, From ocean depths to mountain peaks, Mother Nature-moves and speaks.! While telling stories of our past, She tries to teach us how to last.. Mankind,so smart,sometimes blind, Leaves common sense far behind.. We're moving fast and living large, Forgetting that she's the one incharge.. It's true,we must treat her right, Or we incur a deadly plight. TREAT HER WITH DISTINCTION- OR SURELY FACE EXTINCTION! That was not mine though,but i hope you would enjoy reading it :)You know,the best part of it is you should enjoy the sun-rise and set :)So natural,so beautiful and you all will never want to destroy these! less pollution-best solution! Go green-get our Globe clean! Nice day--factorial!

Very good saying. Although majority of people wont care. Some people literally take everything for granted and wont realise this until what we need is all gone. Humans are an extremely selfish and stupid race!
