Taking Care of Your Mother

A land ethic is part of our moral responsibility to care for Mother Earth because of her intrinsic value.

The beauty, the power, the majesty are valuable, and should be valued.

As a Mother, she gives us life, and that too is deserving of protection. But this protection should go beyond that necessary for the survival of humans. We have a duty to repair the damage we have done, to prevent future deterioration of the planet, and to place a high priority on preserving her beauty.

In and of itself, the beauty, the power and the majesty deserve protection, when she cannot alone protect herself.
