Our Duty

Emily Wang/Student/Monta Vista High School

I believe that our planet’s existence is what leads to our existence, and in return, it is up to us as humans to keep the earth alive. Once upon a time when we were farmers and fisherman, we treated the earth right so that it could keep moving. Our earth needs to produce natural resources, and it needs time to produce them. Taking away and using up natural resources as a result leaves us with an unhealthy planet. Unhealthy for who??? Well, an unhealthy planet is unhealthy in that it cannot support its live beings. So on an unhealthy planet, where does that leave us? The truth is, since the earth needs our help to survive, we need the earth to survive as well. This cycle has being going on for millions of years, and it cannot end. We need to help the earth, so the earth can help us, we need to help each other. Let’s save the earth and fulfill our duty.
