A question for you...

Here's a really good question for you to answer: "Do you care about the Earth?"
Your reaction is bound to be: (scoff) Duh! Of course I do. Something along the lines of that.
But do you REALLY care?
Do you...
1. Hesitate before throwing that used wad of paper into the rubbish bin, then toss it instead into the nearest recycling bin?
2. Just stand and daydream under the stream of water after bathing, just wanting to relax? (You'd better say no for this one!!!)
#Adding on to point 2. do you shower or fill a whole bath tub with water and bathe? Please shower!#
3. Ever take a cab instead of public transport? It may give your tired legs a treat because you don't have to remain standing for so long, but how are you treating the Earth?

Do you consider yourself environmentally conscious? Did you do so until you put yourself to the test above?
All humans are bound to judge their standards against EVERYBODY ELSE. That means, "Oh, but my friends are get their parents to drive them to the shopping centre, so I guess it's OK for me to do the same.".
Let me ask you a very simple question (this post is all about questions!): How does your friends' asking their parents to drive them there make it acceptable for you to do the same?
Don't you think that you're just making a very, very dumb excuse for yourself?
It really pains me to know that there are people around this place who think like that. Physical weariness is only a small price to pay for all the weariness people like that are causing Mother Earth. She's been around a whole lot longer than you've been, and she's been putting up with us, humans, ruining her for centuries. CENTURIES.
Ask yourself one last question: Would you do that, or would you ask these destroyers-of-nature to stop? Only Mother Earth can't ask us herself.
So we're doing it for her.
Please listen.
