Saving Mother Earth Essay, Research Paper

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 about your actions. If we don’t take care of our environment now we won’t have anything left. It is up to you as the consumer to look because as long as a merchant is selling and making a profit it won’t matter. Money has taken priority over many people’s lives even if it means killing our plants, animals, and even our own people. So next time you buy something read the label, make a difference.
