      This is a very good question. I think that the first thing that we need to do is use our resources more efficiently. We produce so much waste that is harmful for the environment. We need to ensure our environment is flourishing as we need it to produce these resources for us. In the long term we need to discover ways to travel to other habitable planets if we wish to survive once our sun has run out of fuel (in about 5 billion years).

      Great question. And also a very difficult one.

      I think we have to stop being selfish (use less and waste less), invest in the future (so that future generations have as good as life as we have) and respect the Earth and the resources that is offers us.
