  1. TREAT NATUREWITH REVERENCE – DECREASING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

  2. “Today the world is losing its ecological balance as man, out of utter selfishness, is robbing the mother Earth of her resources like coal, petroleum, iron, etc….Human life will find fulfillment only when ecological balance is maintained.”

  3. “Essentially, there is no conflict between man and creation; just as a child is entitled to enjoy the milk from its mother and the bee is entitled to enjoy the honey from flowers, there can be no objection to man enjoying the resources of nature. But as a result of uncontrolled desires and reckless exploitation of natural resources, Nature is exhibiting frightening disorders.”
