     As is depicted in the cartoon, there are trees, flowers and birds as well as a car. It seems to suggest that humankind and nature are coexisting peacefully.
     Human activity in itself does not need to necessarily harm the Earth and the environment. Some human activities can and do make the Earth a better place to live. Unfortunately, however, sometimes it seems that human activities have done more harm than good to the Earth and all living things on it. This should certainly not be our aim as we seek to balance economic development and environmental protection. Both need to go hand in hand if we are to progress and live peacefully together. It is this awareness that our destinies are entwined together in mutual need of dependency that is vital today.
     Being aware of our responsibility to our environment and our desire to progress economically does not mean that one should suffer at the expense of the other. Both are equally needed.
