"The Earth as a Living Being"

"The Earth as a Living Being" is the idea that our planet functions like a living organism, with interconnected systems that sustain life. Just as a body has organs working together, Earth's atmosphere, oceans, land, and living creatures interact to regulate climate, produce oxygen, and support ecosystems. This perspective emphasizes the importance of caring for Earth’s health, recognizing that environmental changes—like pollution or deforestation—are akin to health issues in a living being. It encourages us to treat Earth with respect and stewardship, understanding that our well-being is linked to the planet's vitality.
