Moreira - eleni.moreira@uol.com.br Jorge HessenSpiritism and the decomposition and sustainability of natureWhen we clear forests, change the courses of rivers, land submerged areas, and destabilize the climate, we are destroying the foundations of a naturalsafety net extremely sensitive. We need to be alert to experts' warnings, because it is already too clear that it is only a matter of time for the predictions of terrible consequences to start to affect brutally our lives and especially the lives of our children and grandchildren.Earth is like a living organism, with mechanisms to self-regulate its functions. (1) In recent years, the United States of America went through the worst drought in over a century. Large extensions of land in Russia also did not have enough rain. Even the seasons of monsoons in India were deeply affected. In South America, rainfall index has remained below the historical average. (2)Why so much ingratitude towards Nature, which works tirelessly for us, offering us unlimited resources? Let us remember that Nature suffers and "reacts" to aggressions. In Southern Brazil, floods and cyclones have emerged more frequently often accompanied by great tragedies. In the United States, the "tornados" shake the structures of American society. In Europe and other parts of our planet, we have observed hotter summers, causing fires in several forests, without precedent in history.Current studies show that "climate changes have led to death of some 300,000 people per year, due to starvation (3), diseases, or natural disasters. This number will rise to 500,000 within 15 years." (4) It is estimated that climate problems affect 325 million people every year, and that within two decades, this number will double to the equivalent of 10 % of the world's population today. Kardec questioned Spirituality about this matter: "Why does Earth not always produce enough to provide what is necessary for man?" He received an answer that well exemplifies what we are living today: "It is because the ungrateful man despises it! However, she is an excellent mother. Often, man also accuses Nature of what is only a result of his own incompetence, or imprudence. Land would always produce whatever necessary, if only man would be contented with that." (5) WASTE WATER The "renewable" resources that are consumed and their influence on the environmental balance cannot be relegated to matters of a minor nature, especially taking into consideration the wasteful use of water and other natural resources. It is not risky to say that in the days to come this source will be the most obvious cause of war on the planet.Indeed, there is a serious problem to consider, we are misusing drinking water. It is known that in Brazil almost half (yes, precisely 50%) of the volume collected from the sources does not reach the taps of our homes. In the middle of its route, there are leaks in pipelines, measurement errors, and deviations caused by illegal connections. This survey is authored by ISA (Socio-Environmental Institute), organizer of the campaign "Keeping an Eye on Watershed," which is intended to alert the population
