STINews: Mother Earth is sick

By Tommy Koh

APRIL 22 is celebrated by the peoples of the world as Earth Day. I hope that Singaporeans will take a few moments from their busy lives to think about the health of Mother Earth. Mother Earth is sick.

The Earth is the only planet with the conditions to sustain human life. The future of humanity depends upon the preservation of a healthy biosphere, with all its ecological systems, a rich variety of plants and animals, fertile soils, pure waters and clean air. As the Earth Charter notes, the protection of the Earth's vitality, diversity and beauty is our shared obligation.
