The Earth is a living, breathing
entity. Without ongoing care
and nurturing there will be
consequences too big to ignore.
The icon of the young plant represents organic
growth, a key ingredient in sustaining life on Earth.
Care of the Earth can be taken to mean caring for
the living soil. The state of the soil is often the best
measure for the health and well-being of society.
There are many different techniques for looking after
soil, but the best method to tell if soil is healthy is to
see how much life exists there.
Our forests and rivers are the lungs and veins of
our planet, that help the Earth live and breathe,
supporting many diverse life forms. All life forms
have their own intrinsic value, and need to be
respected for the functions that they perform - even if
we don’t see them as useful to our needs.
By reducing our consumption of ‘stuff’, we reduce
our impact on the environment, which is the best
way to care for all living things.
