Do you think like this...

Do you always see saving the Earth like this? "There are loads of people out there trying already, so I don't have to do a thing." This isn't true.
In fact, when I hear people saying things like that, I am infuriated! Saving the Earth is something everyone is concerned with. It's something where social status, family, race, religion, background... There's nothing in this world you can get that doesn't exact its price. In this case, we humans seem to be the 'rulers' - almost - of this Earth - at least, we are the dominant species. So shouldn't we be the ones taking care of our planet?
Yet, we are destroying it slowly instead. Taking our new advanced technology and society and everything else and turning this beautiful world into one that might not even be inhabitable for some animals much longer.
You know what I think animals see when they look at the advances - and destruction - Man is making? This will probably seem one-sided, but here's what I really think.
Looking at the roads, they wonder how these strange beings can bear to pour black things in lines and drive stinking machines over them. Every road you drive on is another patch of land claimed by Man, another place where our influence has acted and stopped the Earth from breathing.
Looking at their fellow animals on Earth dying slowly. Looking as their family members eat toxic waste, unaware of what it really is, and dying. Looking on. Helpless.
My words have probably managed to paint a horrible graphic scene in your mind, right? I hope they have, because I really don't think that we are doing enough to stop what is happening to our home, our planet.
If you're an animal lover, then I hope that you have realized what we are doing - though not intentionally - to this place. Please, and this is going out to everybody out there, wake up and realize what we are doing. Don't take this home you have - this planet - for granted. Mother Earth can't save herself now. It's up to her children.
