“The more we take, the less there is for future generations”

Simplified Meaning:
When we consume a lot of resources, like water, oil, or trees, we leave less of these things for people who will live after us. Imagine a big cake that's meant for everyone in your family. If some people keep eating large pieces, there won't be enough left for others later on. This idea encourages us to think about how our actions today impact tomorrow. For example, if we cut down too many trees without planting new ones, future generations won't have forests. To act on this, we can recycle, save energy, and use things wisely so that the people who come after us will also have what they need. It's about sharing fairly and thinking long-term.
