Dear mother,

We should not have left you alone for all these years. We should have told you how much we love and respect you. We should have known that you are not just something to live on and use, but a being with feelings and happiness. Now, look at what has happened…

We have abused and destroyed you for far too long. We are the ones who made you sick, yet we expect you to heal yourself. We know how much it hurts because we inflicted these wounds on you ourselves. It is probably the time for us to own up to our mistakes and take full responsibility to make things right. Our war against nature was never about making a profit - it's about power and control. As humans, we have the capability to make each and every one of your magnificent species extinct in as little as thirty years with the assistance of our factories and our technologies, but instead we are destroying the very planet that provides us with food, water and air.

Now it is the time for you to reclaim your beautiful home earth from the humans who consider themselves gods—especially those who seem to think that somehow they are not responsible for what they do. Their arrogant mindsets are in the way of the natural healing process. We have reached a point where we need to start thinking about you and your healing process. How can we let them continue to destroy your body, your beautiful face and your gorgeous skin? It needs to stop immediately… no more destruction! We must not stand by and watch another species suffer and die from the destruction that we created. The earth deserves better than that. You deserve better than that. It is time for us humans to take responsibility for what we have done wrong, but there is still hope for our future.

We hold the power to change things, but we must start now.

We have to stop the greed and the hatred that is running our society and our world. We have to embrace peace and love amongst all species, especially towards our home planet. We need to do what is right for the earth and not what will make us rich or powerful in less than a lifetime. The age of humans thinking they are more powerful than nature must come to an end so that you can be whole again, so you can heal yourself. You deserve better than that.

I do hope you get better, our mother of nature, Earth.
