We all live in a world where there are countless opportunities to travel and see what the earth has to offer. We are able to view the various sites where history was made, and continues to be made; even become more connected to evolution. Our world is filled with fields of beauty and mountains of wonder. If it were ever the case that you just wanted to “get away”, from drama or just needed a vacation, there’s a place for that. If you ever needed to find the perfect spot for a wedding, the earth provides that. If you ever had an idea of your “dream house” or “dream job”, the earth offers a location for that all to come true.
Earth, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is the planet on which we live, but she is much more than that. She is our mother, our provider, our necessity to live, our home. The place where families are raised, people are educated, live, and feed off is in deep trouble.
Like there are viruses that harm our bodies, there are things that are harming and eventually will kill the Earth. Deforestation, pollution, uncontrolled use of infrastructure, wastefulness, soil erosion and degradation, these are all only a handful of viruses we are giving to the earth, but they all need to end immediately.
People, defined beautifully by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is a group that are united by a common culture, tradition, or sense of kinship, that typically have common language, institutions, and beliefs, and that often constitute a politically organized group.
There are very few options we have to change our path of destruction, but there are people, and or groups that could easily help put an end to this madness. The figures we need to look for guidance from are religious figures, for without trying, the ea...

In the words of Pope John Paul II “It is my hope that the inspiration of Saint Francis will help us to keep ever alive a sense of "fraternity" with all those good and beautiful things which Almighty God has created. And may he remind us of our serious obligation to respect and watch over them with care, in light of that greater and higher fraternity that exists within the human family.” No one wants to leave this earth and I know deep down inside everyone cares. Whether it is for selfish reasons like, you like your house, everyone needs to make an effort to reform our ways and help our bleeding mother. Heal her from the mighty pain we have caused.
In the journal of Environmentalism as Religion, Paul H. Rubin discuss about how environmental is similar to religion. Rubin want everyone to know that the environment and religion are somehow similar in a way, which they both have belief system, creation stories and original sin.
Earth By earth they mean dryland and the ground, which consists of soil, dirt and rocks. The earth signifies form, structure, security and stability. Mother Earth is the ancient spiritual symbol which gave us life and formed all living things (plants, animals, etc.). Earth is what nurtures life, its always stable, solid and almost unchanged.

We look at our world just as a place we live. It is more than that! We were discovered in the same concepts Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus. This is a prominent foundation in our world today. Romulus and Remus, I believe, changed our world forever. Everything they lived through and advanced is the reason on how we are today. We should cherish each moment we have within our world. We always need to appreciate what we have because people fought and are still fighting for our freedom and independence each and everyday. We need to relive the struggles and fights that people today and in our history go
God created this beautiful world, so why not explore it. I want to travel the United States, as well as other countries. I want to take a trip to Greece, Italy, and many other parts of Europe. I also would like to go to Australia, Jamaica, and Mexico. Each country is so unique, and each state within that country is so unique. There are a vast variety of natural landforms as well as man made landmarks that are across this globe and ready to be explored. I want to be able to take my family to explore and learn from all different aspects of the world and to always cherish nature and be thankful to live the life they
"Among the people of your culture, which want to destroy the world?" "Which want to destroy it? As far as I know, no one specifically wants to destroy the world." "And yet you do destroy it, each of you. Each of you contributes daily to the destruction of the world." (Quinn, 1995:25)

Hinduism is an incredibly diverse religion that expresses, through many of its texts the complex relationship between the environment and humanity. The base teaching that the earth is the physical body of the goddess Devi, and the idea of reincarnation, gives the Hindu a different perspective of what "life" is, and what respecting earth beneath us is accomplishing. Most importantly, they perceive that our treatment of the world directly affects our karma, the positive and negative forces that affect our future.
...as human we need to take care of it by following all the correct measurement. Maybe, the smallest action can bring huge difference to the world and help to save the ecosystem. Any extinction species can be preserved and make a plantation to help the world green. Cut off any unnecessary activities that bring damage to the surrounding. Besides, generate of energy also can be changed with alternative ways like renewable energy that must be more clean and safe. The fossil fuel source also will not remain exists and will run out someday. Take a good action and care for our world as we live on it. This because the world content all the sources we need to survive like food, water, shelter and etc. The most important thing is to start activities and usage that are environmentally friendly, for example, organic foods and materials, natural gases, less electrical use and etc.
Anthropology is a field that incorporates both humanistic and scientific approaches to study humankind. Anthropology is considered a science because anthropologists observe, assign function to matter, and practice various procedures. Anthropology is humanistic because it “describes patterns within a cultural context determined by ethnographic research” (McCaffrey, 1/31). Eric Wolf said that anthropology is concerned with the organization of matter and mind. Marvin Harris views anthropology as a field that performs empirical, inductive-deductive, quantifiable, and able to be replicated techniques. The scientific method is commonly utilized in this field for the formation of a hypothesis, rationale, data, and conclusions in research. Another
How do we define religion? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the definition of religion is as follows: “the belief in a god or in a group of gods, an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods, or an interest, a belief, or an activity that is very important to a person or group” (Merriam-Webster.) My personal definition of religion is that it is a set of beliefs and practices that generally pertain to the worship of one or more than one spiritual being or representation of a spiritual power. Religion can be a personal belief or an organization or group of people who have similar beliefs and values. There are many different types of religions in the world and have been since the beginning of mankind.
The earth is considered as one of the most beautiful planets in the universe. It is the only planet in our galaxy that has enough water to support life. Unfortunately our planet is suffering due to many problems which should be solved before it is too late. The major problems that are facing our world today are population, pollution and animal extinction.
A simple solution to helping the Earth, even in a little bit, is “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.” Find some recycling bins, put up some posters, make a little speech and make recycling known to everyone who could be clueless. Because the Earth does matter, It’s your home, the place you have always lived and known. It’s beautiful and mysterious. It’s the perfect love for anyone, something for everyone. A place where anyone can find somewhere to belong and everyone fits it somewhere. So why don’t you do your part to making sure its here for another million years.
There are many different ways that we as the earths population are destroying the environment. For example, the tall cooling towers used by industries. They do not remove pollutants but simply push them higher into the atmosphere, in this way they reduce their concentration at that particular area. The pollutants may then travel over large distances and produce negative effects in areas far away from the original site.
