This is where we must see the world through the eyes of a maternalistic or paternalistic person. It is only if we see the world as being dependent upon our actions will we actually start to treat the Earth and Cosmos with a sense of value. It is natural for us to nurture our own species, so that transition to nurturing our planet is not a great leap. Realizing that we are also dependent upon our planet for our own existence, the argument for establishing a comprehensive plan to coordinate an Earth friendly environment for the actions of life on Earth should be overwhelmingly agreeable. What holds us back is current conventional practices and a mindset of an unlimitedness of Earth's ability to sustain itself without our intrusion. Under scrutiny, the argument for doing nothing or very little is less effective because of on-going warning signs we are able to register. Common sense would also dictate not to treat our Earth as a temporary resource acquisition entity but instead as a necessary component for humanity to evolve and be nourished itself. There are many ways in which to protect and sustain the resources are planet gives us. We just need the focus and determination to let logical solutions guide our behaviour and progress. Indeed, many will resist and to their resistance an overwhelming agreement by everyone else will eventually move us past resistance and to the goal of nurturing our planet for continued and unlimited sustenance.
