About this Quote

This quote by Marya Mannes is an alerting about the effects of our actions. It recommends that if we continue to abuse the earth and kill living things, we will eventually pay the rate. Our exploitation of the environment and its resources will result in a decreased future. This might indicate a future with less resources, a future with more extreme weather condition, or a future with a lack of biodiversity. It is a suggestion that our actions have repercussions and that we should take obligation for our actions. We should bear in mind how we utilize the earth and its resources, and aim to protect and preserve them for future generations. If we do not, we will be the ones to suffer the repercussions.
