This famous quote is from the chapter, The Ailing Planet by Nani Palkhiwals. This quote is of Lester Brown. Mr. Brown is appealing to the people of the world to care of the health of our planet and treat it respectfully so that it can be bequeathed to the coming generations in good condition. By this quote he means we are the responsible trustees of the world and have to hand it over to the coming generations in a very good condition – not as degraded and polluted planet.
Answer:

Earth is a living organism that has limited resources. These resources will not last forever. The earth has its metabolic needs that require to be preserved. The need of the hour is “sustainable development” which propounds the need of meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising with those of future generations. The present problems are not necessarily fatal for us but they are a ‘passport for future’. This is the “Era of Responsibility” that calls for a responsible action from us. We must realise that the earth belongs as much to the future generation as much it belongs to us.
