In the lesson ‘The Ailing Planet’, what message does the author want to convey through his concern with the deteriorating condition of our planet?
Dear student
The author wants to convey that we now have a need, more than ever, to protect our planet. If we are to protect this planet for our successors, then we must protect what the planet has given us by not over using its resources. We must see the planet with a holistic view, and consider it as one living organism. We must also consider the fact that we share the earth with other organisms, and therefore, the damage we do to the earth affects them as well. By following sustainable development, we must ensure that we protect the earth from further deterioration.
Regards
