Dear humans,

We have known each other for around 200,000 years now and it was been a great pleasure of mine to provide you with a place to stay for all these years. We have stuck together through the good times and the bad. There have even been times when asteroids tried to tear us apart, but we are still alive to this day.

However, we need to talk.

You are hurting me and some of my other beautiful life that I host. You guys are the only creatures that are harming my atmosphere and life forms. Not cats, not dogs, not horses, only you.

Yes. That's right. No other animals are hurting me.

I have put up with all this abuse for years now and it is starting to get to me. My average temperature is increasing every day and it's expected to increase even more. It's all because of you. If you keep it up, I will become to hot to keep you.

If that happens, you don't have much other planets to colonize as of now. My sister Venus will crush you with her thick atmosphere and my brother Mars can get unbearably cold. So please, I beg of you, stop launching nuclear missiles, shooting fireworks, and doing other things that release hot air into my atmosphere.

I also kindly ask you to stop littering. Wild animals can get a hold of your garbage and likely get sick or die from trying to eat it. I host life for beautiful wildlife and you are causing some species to become extinct from physically killing them or littering. This abuse to me and my other animals has got to stop.

As your mother Earth, my request to you is to stop contributing to global warming and extinctions. I have a billion years left to host life for you, so please make the most of these billion years by respecting me, my atmosphere, and my other forms of life. Mommy loves all 7 billion of you so much.

Lots of love,

Mother Earth
