Mother Earth is a resilient being. She has the ability to shift and change and evolve as we humans create new pollutants and unnatural forms that do not easily or quickly break down. She is a more powerful being than we are. But we don't have to make it tough on her. And if we leave it up to her, she could make catastrophic changes that would affect the human race.
Simple awareness is needed. Are we creating in unison with the earth or are we creating things that harm the current environment? Are we doing all we can to recycle, reuse, or repurpose what we purchase? Are we consciously consuming? Simple changes in our daily habits can make large impacts to the planet we call home.
