​SAVE THE PLANET
One Child at a time
We all must become stewards of the Earth
The Earth belongs to us all, it is our responsibility to take care of it. You may think that working together to save the Earth and its resouces is ridiculous, but wouldn't you want your children to have a usable planet? If we are not good stewards of our planet, our children and grandchildren will not have a beautiful healthy place to live. Your next question should be: WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
The thirsty earth soaks up the rain,
And drinks, and gapes for drink again.
The plants suck in the earth and are
With constant drinking fresh and fair.
–Abraham Cowley, English poet (1618–67)
The natural world is defined by organisms and life processes which conform to principles regarding conservation and transformation of matter and energy. Living organisms use matter and energy to build their structures and conduct their life processes, have mechanisms and behaviors to regulate their internal environments and to respond to changes in their surroundings. Knowledge about life processes can be applied to improving human health and well being.
