This chapter covered the harmful effects that humans are placing upon mother earth. It covers the resources that we have been using too frequently and are now being sacred and there is no way to replace what we have taken away from the earth. This really goes back to our current situation of global warming. Since we haven't seen any "major damages" in our personal,everyday life, there is no need to change our daily habits. But the earth is slowly being effected, our ozone layer is thinning at a rate that is going to leave us unprotected, giving us harsh summers and an overflow of oceans. We are not being aware of what can happen to us in the future, because we are living on a day to day basis without knowledge of what our actions may be doing to the earth.
