What responsibility do we, as humans, have to the Earth (the animals, the plants, the water, soil and air)?
We as humans need to respect animals and take care of them properly. Animals have been here longer than we have, and animals do so much for humans without hesitating. We truly don't deserve animals. They give and give and give and they would give even when they had nothing left, We need to learn to take care of what we have. It's all extremely limited, and we already don't have a ton of it left.Were polluting our air so bad its changing colors, like when New York's sky was literally bright yellow.
