Everything is a Human Being by Alice Walker

1/13/10 -----Alice Walker talks about how humans have been selfish to the Earth. I beleive she is right. We have taken lots of the Earth's resources. We use them in harmful ways that only hurt the Earth. Can you imagine someone letting you have something of theirs and then you turning right around and using it against them. Nothing can be considered free anymore. We have taken all of the Earth's land. Whether it be a city or even a state park. We use all of Earth's resources. I think that Alice Walker was one of few that understood this. She observed nature closely and could tell how civilization had tampered with it. I liked how she talked about the Indians and how they were the only ones who treated nature with respect. Of course they had to build their homes and hunt for their food, but it seems like Indians alway gave back to the Earth.
