Yes Brooke, we do.<br /><br />Humans tend to take for granted anything they don't have to work to get.<br /><br />I accept no responsibility if your teacher doesn't like that answer. :)

Re: Do you feel Humans take the earth for granted?

No, I actually don't. We are a species, like dogs and cats. We just have a brain that gives us the ability to form things and do things that no other species can. If, by doing this, we use natural resources that were given to all of us free of charge, I don't consider that taking it for granted.<br /><br />Your thread should have said, "Do you feel humans abuse the Earth unnecessarily?" Then my answer would have been yes.

Re: Do you feel Humans take the earth for granted?

humans always have used and abused the earth. Early settlers here took advantage of natural waterways (rivers) and used them for water supply and a means to transport the goods they would produce. many of the eastern seaboard towns were built at the "fall line" where water coming down off the appalachians was utilized for running mills and other machines, while being the head of navigation. The rivers became more and more like sewers unitl they couldnt be swam in. Still, this country as we know it wouldnt exist if not for the exploitation of its assets. The early people were ignorant of the harm they were doing. Today is different, its a matter of paying attention and doing the right thing.<br />"you never want a drop of water, until the well runs dry"

We should act as stewards of the earth. Unfortunately, we have harmed our environment by our negligence.<br /><br />Environmentally responsible living encompasses all aspects of consumption: How much we consume, what we consume, how we use what we consume, and what we do with the leftovers.<br /><br />We have abused the earth and its many wonders. The past 50 years or so we have become more aware of the long term affects of our disregard and the ignorance of our actions. Whether or not we can reverse the affects we've had on our planet remains to be seen. <br /><br />There are many organizations dedicated to saving the planet. A good many of them are relgion based.

I don't know about that Carpy.<br /><br />I'm not too sure I'd want to wake up in the morning, with some creature with tubes and hoses and electronic devices attached all over their structure, in the bed next to me!!! <br /><br />(I say structure instead of body, because that is what the body becomes, a structure, in the "Borg" world.)<br /><br />That would be a living nightmare!<br /><br />I don't even care if their named after my lucky numbers, I just couldn't imagine.<br /><br />No thanks.

Re: Do you feel Humans take the earth for granted?

no, i think humans are some of the most creative users of the earth's resources. so, i don't feel we take them for granted. we think they are limitless but we know we need them.<br /><br />however, we are also the only ones using the resources for our whims. other species use the resources for their needs. we exploit the earth much like a parasite which will kill its host given enough time. (cue thunder clap and lightning)....muwahah-hahaha

Yes, the human species has taken the Earth for granted.<br />But we're getting better at it. I think, in my lifetime, we've gotten a better understanding for the best uses of our natural resources and their management. Are we wasteful? Yes. Do we have a negative impact on our environment? Yes. Are we, at least, trying to do something to save it? Yes.<br /><br />(Hope you get an "A"!)

Hey BrianFD,<br /><br />I agree with you 100%, but I definitly feel that we are not doing enough, and if that doesn't change soon, it just might be too little, too late!!
