PLANET EARTH is the only planet that we know of that we can live on. Sad to say that our civilisation has progressed quite tremendously on the back of technological advancement that is supposed to solve the world's problems but fail to protect the Earth. Why? Well, everything that we produce has grave consequences to the planet. We have not yet found an alternative planet and hence, why are we still playing ignorants to the extent of being arrogants?

Recently I came across the following information for which, we, citizens of Planet Earth, should use as a guide to better preserve our beloved planet. We are its custodian and we bloody well be a good one. It is our responsibility. God save Planet Earth:
