You have possibly heard a quote along the lines of, "We did not inherit the earth from our grandparents, it is on loan to us from future generations."
After reading an article in National Geographic about Namibia (where almost half of the landmass consists of national parks, communal conservancies, and private wilderness reserves), it strikes me that we have a definite responsibility to take care of the Earth.
The Earth and creation will only be beautiful for as long as we sustain it. We can do this by not littering (few things drive me so nuts as when someone rolls down their window and tosses out garbage!!), or using energy efficiently. I am sure that you have heard countless suggestions and ways to keep the Earth clean.
If you are going to enjoy the outdoors (and you should), you must be respectful of it. Leave no trace, and all of that. I am sure everyone has heard it all before, but it is easy to not really pay attention. But it is so important to follow those rules, so that the wildlife, the plants, the landscape, all of it can remain beautiful.
If we don't care of our plane, who will? It is all of God's creation, and as much as we can be in awe of the beauty that is out there, we need to do our best to ensure that our children and their children on down the line have that same opportunity.
