Be kind to animals, be kind to plants and trees, be kind to the earth for she nourishes and nurtures you. Without the earth, the animals, the plants and trees there would be no humankind. Humankind's role is to be the guardian, the steward of the earth and everything that exists on it.

Instead, mankind has become its destroyer, through exploitation, greed, lack of respect and sheer ignorance. This short-sightedness will be the cause of mankind's lack of resources. Without mankind the earth will recover. Without resources from the earth there is no future for mankind.

How can man be blind enough to believe that he has dominion over the earth? How can he be so blind to reality? The reality that he is utterly dependent on the earth. By destroying the earth he destroys himself.

This concept needs to be understood, humanity needs to wake up. Every human being needs to take responsibility for his or her actions and choices and how they affect the environment. It's not good enough leaving that responsibility to your governments, there is too much greed in politics. Do not waste your time putting your trust in politicians. Change needs to take place at the level of the individual. Change starts with you.

Show respect to the earth, look after the animals, look after the plants and trees and teach others to do the same. Teach them respect for the great Mother Earth. For without it your species will not survive.
