Which best describes the meaning of this poem? "Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents; it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children." -Ancient Native American Proverb

We should be good to the Earth because that’s what our ancestors wanted.
Our parents gave us the Earth.
We need to think about the needs of humans now, because we inherited the Earth and can do with it what we want.
We need to think about how what we’re doing to the environment now will impact our kids and their kids and their kids.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically the thought process is similar to the idea of someone saying," treat others like you would want to be treated" so like "treat the Earth like you want someone else to leave it for you"
