"We owe at least this much to future generations, from whom we have borrowed a fragile planet called Earth"
- Maurice Strong
About this Quote
This quote by Maurice Strong talks to our obligation to future generations. We have actually obtained the world from them, and it is our duty to guarantee that we leave it in a better state than we discovered it. We need to do something about it to protect the environment and reduce our influence on the planet. This implies lowering our usage of resources, lowering our emissions of greenhouse gases, and safeguarding the biodiversity of the world. We need to also work to make sure that future generations have access to clean air, water, and food. We owe it to them to ensure that the world is healthy and sustainable for future generations. We should take action now to ensure that the world is safe and protected for future generations.
