    1. Right now, the earth is full of refugees, human and not, without refuge.

      There are many homeless people in the world right now, affected by our actions as well. Also, there are several abandoned properties that could be used for refuge. Animals are also affected by our choices and other actions. They lose their homes and are sold or are hunted into extinction. Rather than depleting the animal population and other resources, we must help those that need it. We must find ways to give refuge to those seeking it out.

The actions of people affect how our lives on the Earth will be, as well as the other species we share the world with. We don't stop to think how arrogant of a species human are, and how we truly affect others.
