Plan B chapter 8 is about restoring the earth. The chapter
talks about the world and what we as people need to do in order to save and
restore our planet. Some of the things that need to be done are: protecting and restoring forests, planting
trees to sequester carbon, conserving and rebuilding soils, regenerating
fisheries, and protecting plant and animal diversity. There are many things
that are crucial in completing these goals as communities, states, countries,
and as a whole world together. First of all, we need to hold each other
accountable for what we do to our earth daily and how we plan on taking care of
it daily as well. Trees, soil, fish, animals, and more are essential to our
quality of life. Without these things we would not be surviving and moving on
with our daily lives. There is projects that have been implemented to help
restore our world already and need to be kept up with. There are still things
that need to be done and put in place to further our betterment of every community.
We as people need to realize our impact on the community and take our place and
part in the ways that we can help change the environment for us and for the
future generations. Forests are important to the environment and to us, they
are an important aspect to our ability to breathe. We need to help keep forests
alive and well and stop deforestation. Rapid soil erosion threatens to turn
many places into deserts, but with efforts to maintain and build up soil this
can be stopped. Fisheries are how we raise and get our fish; these need to be
regenerated for the benefit of everyone. Plant and animal diversity are not
only important but also fascinating. The more diverse and different we can keep
the plant and animal communities the better. Every plant and animal has a place
in the food chain and no matter how small their part seems without them the
whole chain can be disrupted. All in all, we need to focus on what we can do
not only on a small daily scale, but also on a large ‘changing the world’
scale.
