1. Things in nature are, large or small, new or old, only in agreement with the measures and the comparisons involved. This is obvious in Paragraph 2. 2. A billion years later, the planet had cooled, and the continents and the great bodies of water had formed. This can be seen in Paragraph 3. 3. Despite their short time on Earth, however, people have brought about enormous changes to the surface of the planet-chages far out of proporion to the interval of time they have occupied it. This is clear in Paragraph 5. 4. As the number of people on Earth increases, it becomes increasingly hard for the population to survive on the resources of the land. This is obvious in Paragraph 7. 5. People are only a very small fraction of all living things on the planet. Yet their numbers create a drain on resources that can't be renewed. This is clear in Paragraph 8. 6. Human activities can cause or speed up permanent changes in natural systems. This is obvious in Paragraph 10. 7. In spite of rapid population increase and industrial growth, some groups of people, often in remote areas, have been able to live in peace with the planet. This can be seen in Paragraph 11. 8. Now that they are aware of the causes of the sickness of our planet, they seek ways to help the Earth, to give back what they take away. This is clearly presented in the last Paragraph.
