¡¡¡¡Take.  Take.  Take.  The relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern.  Like a child endlessly asking,  we humans,  throughout history,  have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. 

¡¡¡¡We enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture,  yet we never bother to think about the serious soil loss caused by deforestation.  We take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times,  yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources.  We appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry,  yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes.  Our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth. 

¡¡¡¡While enjoying material civilization,  we cannot help thinking of our posterity.  Nature is not only the mother of the present generation,  but also the mother of the generations to come.  How severely our descendants will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless mother?  How much more they will appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit?  Let us start respecting and caring for nature from now on.  Let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature right from this moment.  With this new start,  we firmly believe that our children,  and our children’s children will live in a brand-new age of green trees,  clean air,  crystal water,  blue sky and an even more promising world!
