Preserve Our Land Preserve our land for our children to see, and all life prevails for eternity
The population growth on Mother earth is presenting a serious problem with the world's food and fresh water supply. Escalated growth in general is having a strong impact on our environment. The environment deals with circumstances, objects, or conditions surrounding us. Its impact concerns the physical, chemical, and biotic factors—climate, soil, and living things—that act upon organisms which ultimately will determine their forms and survival. A biosphere is where organisms of the same species form a population.
Our ecology is the totality or pattern of relations between organisms and their environment, and continues in a struggle to survive." Ecology equates animal life as fauna and plant life as flora. The members of a community react with each other and their environment to create a balanced ecosystem. Ecology plays a major part in life, and has caused changes which affect the interrelationship of all living organisms and their associated environments.In nature you will find the genetically controlled qualities of an organism. Its genetics provides the inherent character or basic constitution of a person's disposition and temperament by being in its undisturbed and natural setting. Planet earth is getting chipped away slowly but surely by organic pollution, human, animal, and plant diseases. Forests, consumed by droughts and fires, have reduced the quantity of our precious suppliers of oxygen. Wars destroy the atmosphere by releasing poisonous gases as the bombs of destruction releases them. City and urban growth has caused forests to be cut down and the land used for shopping malls, or at times the land becomes barren. Every incident, place, and natural setting makes a definite contribution to the environment around the globe. Humanity has nearly pushed the planet to the brink of no return. The answer to the world's problems and what you can do to help is at your fingertips. Here's how you can mold mankind and survive if a major catastrophe occurs. Become a mini-farmer. Grow something, even if it's only one tomato plant. Start a fire with a piece of metal and flintstone—remember that edible food is found in palmetto stems and sea kelp is edible. Learn that the fleshy insides of marine pen shells can be eaten. Take the time to discover how to distill freshwater from saltwater. Find out what is free in this world and then start to use what you find. Raise aloe and use it for a burn ointment. Make your own compost from organic materials and learn how this type of soil manufacturing provides a mini garden for growing food. 
Another answer is, "Throw away only what cannot be salvaged." Find a salvage group that will use your old stuff and recycle what is left. Many people believe there is an endless supply of natural elements.Not true! Once an element is used, its natural form is gone forever, unless the products from them are recycled. Stop tampering with free items that Mother Nature provides. The end of civilization is just around the corner and a dead planet is coming. These conditions are not a figment of anyone's imagination. Our planet is being used up at an alarming rate. Wake up and smell the roses as they may not be there for long. Years ago this land was green. Full of life and flowing streams.
But now the land is barren and dry, We are, ourselves, the reason why.
So little thought, concern, or care, Is why our land is now so bare.
Devoid of life and beauty past, Now who to blame we all will ask.
Tis a vision of things to come, Unless we all act as one,
To preserve our land for our children to see, and all life prevails for eternity.
