a call for Her: our Mother Nature

For years, we have made so much use of what our nature has to offer. And even up to this hour, we consume of what our mother nature has left.

We never stop from being parasites.
Yes, a parasite, that is.

For hundreds and hundreds of decades, our nature has been the major source of everything that we need for survival. And yet, we have caused it an unbelievable picture of damage. Trees are cut down, mountains have nothing left but empty soil, air has been terribly polluted...and water... we could hardly drink any of it. What has happened to the environment?

The Millennium Development Goals have started to come out in the purpose of making an action against this environmental crisis. In a list of eight goals, the seventh has caught me more than any other goals discussed. It talks about Ensuring Environmental Sustainability.

I firmly believe that above everything else we have in this planet, it is the environment that plays a major role. Before we could do anything to repair what has been destroyed, we have to repair and rebuild first the environment, because the environment is where everything comes from. The food that we eat, the water that we drink, the air that we breathe, even the clothes that we wear-we all need the environment to be able to have all these.

People who live in the third world countries suffer from water deprivation. They could barely drink water. Imagine how fortunate we are that we are provided water clean enough for us to consume.

The seventh goal: Ensuring Environmental Sustainability, for me, is a very important goal.
I believe the discussion that we had regarding this goal was enough to awaken us all end open our eyes and lend our ears to the call of Mother Nature-that all of us has the responsibility to protect Her.
