Are you being a good steward of the world?

As humans, it is our responsibility to take care of our planet Earth, so that we can conserve and live a long time here on Earth. By this, we need to value our biodiversity. To do this, we need to take care of all the living things that require the caring of a person – such as the animals and the plants and of course, our Mother Nature. By taking care of them, we are being good stewards of the world, since we are concerned of what could happen to our planet and also to what could be the solution if we don’t take care of them. We need to take consideration of the things that could happen in the future, such as global warming, that can affect everyone living here on Earth. We need to not only think about our own safety, but also the safety of others. For it is also our responsibility as Christians, to take care of one another as brothers and sisters. All of us have to work together to help save our planet so that there would be a place for future generations.

Having too much technology around us draws us away from focusing on helping to save our environment. That is why a lot of species are now endangered - and even us and our planet! Since a lot of innovative technology is being developed everyday, the more closer we get to ruining our planet and our home, Earth. Maybe that's why a lot of typhoons, earth quakes and a lot more environmental disaster comes along because we don't take much care of our environment. That is also why global warming started to exist, it's because of our own carelessness about our surroundings - that billions of people is dying from starvation - and again the cause of this is because we are focused on saving money for ourselves that we don't see the impact it is making on other people's lives.

(A video about how humans affect our planet resulting to Global Warming by NASA)

Human intervention has negatively affected the biodiversity of our ecosystems especially because a lot of animals are already extinct; and here are some of them: [Mammals] Arabian gazelle, Barbados rice-rat, Barbados raccoon, Black-footed ferret, Bulldog rat, Guam flying fox and a many more. [Birds] Auckland Island merganser, Bonin Wood pigeon, Canarian black oystercatcher, Crested Sheldrake, Kosrae crake, Wake Island rail. [Fish] Ash Meadows poolfish, Fera, Greasefish, New Zealand grayling, Snake River sucker and Yellowfin cutthroat trout. It’s so sad to think about all the animals that are now gone, and half of the reason why they’re gone is because of us. A lot of them, we didn’t even get too see, we just know them by name because of the sources that says that they existed. So it will be so sad, that in the future generations, we didn’t even get to see a dog. It’s so sad to think about all of the living things that are now extinct just because we didn’t think ahead – we thought that they would be here forever. So, now, it’s time for us – the present generation, to put a stop into this and help save and preserve them for the future generations to come. We can help, by most certainly - recycling things that could still be use again, and preserving some of light, energy and water. Some could even consider eating veggies that could be good in tow ways - one for your health and the other is helping save our planet.

By doing these things, we are being a good steward of the world and at the same time, helping our planet to be preserved for upcoming generations. So, let’s help each other to make a better place to live for everyone.
