This Earth, Our Home

Buddhism:

Think of life on this planet in terms of systems and not detached elements. Broaden your field of vision and assimilate the knowledge you have. See that the environment does not belong to any single country to exploit and then disregard.

Za Rinpoche

Christianity:

As for you, my flock…Is it not enough for you to feed on good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet?

Ezekiel 34: 17-18

Hinduism:

Waste not food, waste not water, waste not fire.

Taittiriya Upanishad

Islam:

Adore your Guardian – Lord, Who Created you and those who came before you…Who has made the earth your couch, and the heavens your canopy; and sent down rain from the heavens; and brought forth therewith fruits for your sustenance.

The Koran; Surah: 21-22

Judaism:

For in respect of the fate of man and the fate of beast, they have one and the same fate: as the one dies, so does the other; all share the same breath of life.

Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) 3:19

Native American

Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents; it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors; we borrow it from our Children.

Ancient Indian Proverb
