This advice prods us to consider the future, and not to focus on the present or on the past. Instead of living just for today and gratifying our own immediate needs, we should think about how our current actions will affect the planet and the future generations who will live on it.
Let’s use an analogy and think of the earth as a house. If we are given a house to live in, we can use it as we please. Within its walls, we can live pretty much the way we want to. We can be as neat and tidy or as messy and sloppy as we tend to be. All we have to do is to please ourselves. Now, if we know that we will have to pass this house on to someone else down the line, then we should be more careful about how we treat it. It will have to be livable for others, once we leave. The implication is that we will take better care of the place, and we will think and act more deliberately when we consider the future and the folks who will come after us. We don’t want to leave a mess with huge challenges for other people to have to deal with and clean up after we’re gone. By doing the best job possible with our home, our place, our earth, we are showing respect both to it and to its future residents. We are being altruistic: showing unselfish concern for the welfare of others. We must be mere stewards of the land and its resources, not users and consumers of everything that happens to be on it

Answer:
1. Planet earth is not our ancestral property and one cannot make undue claims on it,or inherit it.
2. Existence of humans completely depends on the existence of nature, thus its our responsibility to preserve nature and maintain its balance.
3. Irrational use of the natural resources leads to their depletion.
4. Natural resources need to be taken care of as a borrowed property, as we have to sustain these resources for our future generations.
5. Humans are entrusted with the responsibility of preserving these natural resources for the coming generations and hence we have got this earth planet on a lease from our future generations.
