Friends, Will you promise to keep our earth ..? Our earth is already very severe condition today, without us having to add worse. See, a lot of people who knowingly (reason: looking for food / personal enrichment / other reasons) to destroy forests, pollute water and air. Friends, We actually have a stake in the destruction of the environment, Just look at the behavior of today's modern society, which everywhere had to drive a motorcycle / car even at close range, or a combination of humans are wasteful of power and not litter ..... the more we do the things above. increasingly corrupted our earth. The proof is now the weather is very strange, and many natural disasters that occur regardless it was one of the natural phenomena. but such natural disasters that are caused by humans. Friends, we try to improve our way of life, let's try to live and always concerned with the state of nature around us. We do not need fanfare this campaign and that, we simply limit our own behavior. for example 1. Save the use of energy resources, 2. Diligent care of the plants (with no plants, how can we live?) Remember plants are alive, so it needs to be treated, whether it be water or fertilized. 3. Saving electrical energy, (as most power plants as I know, still use natural resources to operate) 4. Do not dispose of any waste into the river ..! 5. etc. (related to environmental preservation) Make sure you are willing and conscious effort to preserve our earth. If not us, who else? we are alive and living on the earth .. Often we see a movie that predicted the difficulties of life in the future when the earth is dying? there is even a movie that shows how it is sold in tubes of oxygen and becomes a very expensive item? because the tree is gone, and have no arable land because of environmental damage. It's a movie, but in fact will not be much different if we do not immediately fix our behavior ...... Let's try to fix the environment, even from small things, try to awaken people around us about the importance of the environment, either through a deed, writing or anything that can bring people around us ..

Try watching the animated film Wall E. Where the ground was completely covered with trash ..... Humans are like that, she realized too late .. Maybe after the clean water no more, the plant is gone, and the animal is not there .... then maybe (just maybe) the new man can be aware .... So how long can the earth survive? I am sure the earth will not last more than 100 years when human behavior has not changed .. And remember to save the earth does not require special skills ... as it is called the questioner simply improve our day to day habits

I am a nature lover and believe the the Earth and animals will be here for as long as we take care of them. We need to treat the Earth with respect and kindness. No, I'm not one of those hippy children, but I am American Indian and was raised to care for the Earth.

No one can answer correctly .,only hypothesis. Reading in the news paper daily, We see a lot of disaster,flood,rain,etc. on the earth.Man is using water without thinking. We must think others also when we are doing any job. Most persons will not do it. I believe in God. Afraid of Him, is a good. No one will think of the future;I mean future- about 40 or 50 yrs afterwards.

That's true but I think everything that we do doesn't save earth no matter what we do the world will keep on getting polluted and temperature will keep on rising. That's the reality and soon all things will eventually come to an end. As a citizen all we can do is save electricity, dispose our garbage properly to keep our planet clean and save our resources.

Record shows that the earth is more than 4 billion years old, that's 4,000,000,000. There are claims that human like species existed 4.4 million years ago but that's not really the real problem since those people still lived based on what nature provide them. The real culprit started with the industrial revolution in the 18th century. that's just a few hundred years and the damage man has done to earth is already unimaginable. Just like the dinosaurs, there'll be a time when man's time will come to be erased in this world. Whether it is of our own doing or not, is just a matter of time. But earth will still be earth until the sun will grow big enough to burn anything in it's path.
