It was behoove EVERYONE to be Good Shepards to Earth !! We have been given a Paradise to dominate and make REASONABLY safe for human to live and flourish, to love and cherish. I believe 'the greed' of living has done a great deal of damage to the natural world we FIRST should pledge our allegiance. It is where as civilized people we come together at The United Nations to solve the problems of a planet as well as the people subsisting on it.
