Solution
The statement “We have got this Earth planet on lease from our future generations and not as an ancestral property from our ancestors” means that the Earth does not belong only to the present generation. We are merely its caretakers and have a responsibility to preserve it for future generations. Therefore, we should use natural resources carefully and avoid their overexploitation.
This idea is related to sustainable development, which means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. By conserving natural resources, reducing pollution, and maintaining ecological balance, we can ensure that future generations inherit a healthy and sustainable planet.
