A delicate balance

We share this planet with all that is living and non-living. Life is supported by a specific combination of gases, fresh and salt water, and set periods of light and darkness. Should the scales be tipped in any other direction, it could be disastrous for any number of earth's inhabitants. This is evidence of the interdependence of all things. That which is considered non-living is just as critical to our survival as the plants and animals that populate our planet. When we honor this delicate balance, we act accordingly. I once heard that we would better protect our planet if we thought it to be our child rather than our mother. Our life here is a result of the balance that has existed over millions of years. We have a responsibility and a duty to maintain that balance as a legacy to the generations that follow. Each day you have the opportunity to make a difference in our planet's future. What are you you doing today to maintain its delicate balance?
