why and how the earth become an ailing planet?

The earth has become an ailing planet thanks to the carelessness with which we have dealt with the planet. Man has been referred to as the most dangerous animal on earth because he has the potential to cause most harm to the planet through his thoughtless exploitation of its resources. The earth is a living organism that comprises four biological systems-fisheries,forests,grasslands and croplands-which provide most of the resources to mankind. Once we start looking at the earth in this way we understand that it is an organism whose health is declining and realize that it is upon us to restore it to good health. The earth has become an ailing planet because of of the unsustainable and indiscriminate use of its resources,excessive fishing,large scale deforestation,conversion of grasslands to barren lands and indiscriminate cultivation which has led to croplands losing their nutrient content. Another major determining factor for the earth's deplorable condition is overpopulation which is taking a toll on the earth's resources because the quantity of resources available is not enough to meet the demands of the ever rising population. Development needs to go hand in hand with sustainable use of resources to salvage whatever has been lost otherwise there may not be an earth to call home.
