As we destroy and pollute the earth, we are harming ourselves by creating an environment that is toxic for human life. It is all our responsibility to to do our part to protect the environment in which we live. We can do this by reducing our carbon footprint through recycling, reducing use of pollutants, and conserving energy (water, gas, electricity).
