Learn

Every day we go to school, or work, and go about our daily lives. It becomes easy to get caught up in our own affairs and take for granted all of the wonderful things Mother Nature has to offer. In this week’s Tribune, the Chevron Cars would like to remind you that there are many plants and animals that are becoming endangered. It is important to realize and remember this information, because it affects humans as well. But how? Well, all living things are extremely important to the planet’s existence, and human beings rely on other species for almost every element of our lives. Our food, medicines, many chemicals, building materials, and much of our clothing come from living things. Even fossil fuels such as coal and oil are created from organisms that lived millions of years ago.

However, problems arise when we begin to clear out forests and land to build developments. When we cut down trees and plants, we risk the potential of killing an undiscovered species. This means society loses one more source for food, medicine, or knowledge, which we might have used to improve our own situation.

Now that you know more about what is going on around the world, remember to respect, value and preserve the organisms that support our lives on Earth. It is important to read as much as you can, and educate yourselves about how you can make a difference. If we all take the time to learn how to take care of our Earth and all creatures on it, we will find that our own lives will benefit greatly.
