Protecting environment for future generations from "summary" of Long Walk To Freedom by Nelson Mandela

Throughout my journey, I have come to understand the importance of safeguarding our environment for the prosperity of generations to come. The earth we inhabit is not ours alone; it is a precious gift that we must protect and preserve for the future. As I reflect on the struggles and triumphs of my own life, I realize that we have a responsibility to leave behind a world that is sustainable and thriving for those who will follow in our footsteps. In my years of imprisonment, I had plenty of time to contemplate the state of our planet and the impact of human actions on the natural world. I saw how greed and shortsightedness were destroying the very resources that sustain us, and I knew that we had to change our ways if we were to ensure a better tomorrow for our children and grandchildren. It became clear to me that we must act now to prevent irreparable harm to our environment. As I emerged from prison and took on the mantle of leadership, I made it a priority to promote conservation and sustainable development. I believed that we could not achieve true freedom and equality without also respecting and protecting the earth that sustains us. I worked to instill in my fellow citizens a sense of stewardship for the environment, urging them to see themselves as custodians of this precious planet. I knew that our actions today would have far-reaching consequences for the future, and I was determined to do everything in my power to ensure that those consequences were positive. I called on governments and citizens alike to prioritize environmental protection and to make decisions that would benefit not only the present generation, but also those that would come after us. I believed that we could build a better world for our children, but only if we took decisive action to preserve our natural heritage. As I look back on my life's work, I am proud of the strides we have made in protecting the environment for future generations. But I also know that there is still much work to be done. We must continue to advocate for sustainable practices, to hold ourselves and others accountable for our actions, and to never lose sight of the fact that the earth is not ours to exploit, but ours to cherish and protect. Only then can we truly fulfill our duty to leave behind a world that is healthy, vibrant, and full of promise for all who will inherit it.
