THE MESSAGE
We, human beings, were given a clean, functioning planet. There was no 'dirt' to start with. Then, Humans occupied this planet and started producing what they collaborated to call 'dirt' or 'garbage'. So, frankly, it is our responsibility "Humans" to clean after ourselves. Also, we had a well-balanced, well-organized echo-system. Everything served a purpose and things complimented each other. But, we decided to serve our egos , not the eco-system. We behaved very irresponsibly towards this beautiful planet. And, consumed its resources as if we are it. Behaving in these manners is very bad for two main reasons: First, making this planet dirty is a sign of disrespect to God and to ourselves. You can't be respecting God when you're trashing his place. Also. Our surrounding is a reflection of ourselves. Second, off-balance echo-system will result in more diseases, degrade our way of life, and eventually, through burning fossil fuel and producing more carbon dioxide and other gases will make life intolerable On this planet.
