This planet is an amazing thing. We have everything we need to make life an enjoyable experience. The way people treat the earth is not representing a respect for the earth. We should appreciate the earth and everything it provides for us. Instead of taking care of our planet and taking time out of our own schedules to help slow down the dangerous toll we are taking on the earth, people just go on and completely ignore the signs. As everyday goes by we slowly take away from the earth. We are not considerate of the earth and how we constantly deplete our natural resources. The earth is screaming out for our help and attention but we constantly ignore it. The warning signs are clear when we take a look around and see how much we could do to prevent the possibly fatal outcome. According to the Environmental Defense organization, vehicles from the United States produce 314 tons of CO2 every year. Little things that we do everyday such as driving to work, throwing away a plastic bottle, and lawn care can make a big difference in the long run. In America, we spend around $25 billion dollars on our lawns in a year. We use chemicals and pesticides that are dangerous to our air to take care of our yards. It seems rather silly to do this when there are more important things to care about. People in third world countries barely have money to eat while we can spend $25 billion on our yards. It’s really sad that by some people lacking consideration for the earth that everyone has to suffer for it. We have built ourselves a spiral of bad behavior and the only thing that can stop the cycle is the world as a whole.
