We can no longer afford to take nature for granted. We can no longer continue to exploit our finite resources as we see fit; to fulfill the gluttonous greed of economic development and dump our waste into the environment.

We have to keep reminding ourselves that the "Sacred Balance" with Mother Earth is vital to our very existence.
Nature will survive without humans,but humans cannot survive without nature.
