It is important to develop a socially responsible attitude towards our planet. Our planet is<br />

already suffering <strong>the</strong> damage produced by previous deliberate actions; hence, we as human<br />

beings suffer <strong>the</strong> consequences, too. It is up to each individual to make <strong>the</strong> decision of saving <strong>the</strong><br />

planet. It is a big commitment, but it is worth it. As people who live in Arkansas, we should<br />

especially preserve <strong>the</strong> natural state. We should treat our planet as it should be treated. God<br />

created this world so beautiful, and he placed men and women in it so that <strong>the</strong>y can take good<br />

care of it. It is our responsibility to love our planet and as Marya Mannes, American author, said,<br />

“The earth we abuse and <strong>the</strong> living things we kill will, in <strong>the</strong> end, take <strong>the</strong>ir revenge; <strong>for</strong> in<br />

exploiting <strong>the</strong>ir presence we are diminishing our future” (qtd. in Quote Garden 1).<br />
