It's nice right? And we should all strive to keep it that way, and that's what most people are doing now but we have gone though a slum of years where the environment has taken a back seat to things like money and the well being of people. But what most people don't understand is that all these things are connected. The Catholic Church says "we should respect all life." Doesn't that mean we should respect the life of the trees, grass, air, and animals around us. God gave us the Earth so that we may inhabit it and that means we should take of it. The Catholic Church teaches that all life no matter how big or small has a right to live. Well the Earth is made up of a bunch of little things: people, trees, animals, plants, minerals, and those things that we as humans have not found yet. But they all share one thing: they are mostly alive or they have something that lives in them. So we should protect it all of it, not just because the Catholic Church says we should, we should protect it because we want to.
