We need a new system for the age of ecology — a system which is embedded in the care of all people and also in the care of the Earth and all life upon it. Discuss.

Planet Earth is the home to all kinds of living beings, such as human beings, animals, birds, fish, insects, plants, etc. all contained and thriving in different ecosystems all over the planet. We, human’s beings, are gifted with superior intelligence and ability to produce speech. Therefore, we have a large variety of languages, based on culture, religion, and race. We must learn to recognize and acknowledge our differences and unite as a single species, working to eradicate cultural and religious riots, clashes, discrimination, prejudiced beliefs, racism, etc. We must also acknowledge and accept the fact that as a superior species, we have a greater and nobler responsibility of preserving the planet which is not only our home, and protect and preserve the natural resources such as forests, oceans, rivers, wetlands, and other such life-giving resources, and non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels, petroleum, minerals, which are being depleted on a massive scale due to man-made activities such as exploitation, extraction, degradation, deforestation, encroaching, and pollution. With the introduction of machinery, industries, brought on by Industrial Revolution, and scientific and technological inventions we have created a better lifestyle for ourselves, but at the cost of taking more than giving from nature. We must learn to limit our needs and extract less from the natural world, there is an ecological balance we must maintain in order to ensure our own continued existence. Before harming living creatures and exploiting nature we must place importance on the consequences of our actions such as the altering of global climate due to emission from industries and waste in form of solid, liquid and gas., depletion of resources and ozone layer that results in Global warming, causing the mass extinction of vital species. The rise of human population has also placed severe stress on the ecological systems and reduced resources required to thrive peacefully.

To face these challenges, we must adopt a new system for the age of ecology in order to preserve the balance between the ecosystems and promote healthy living. Creating awareness of the importance of universal responsibility and identifying ourselves with the larger world is a good way to start preserving our home and that of our fellow living beings; animals and plants.
