Read the following passage carefully and answer Question Nos. 3 and 4 : An ecological footprint is more than just a measurement; it is the mark we leave on the planet every day through our choices—what we eat, how we travel, and the wastes we create. Currently, many people use natural resources faster than the Earth can replenish them, a process that leads to deforestation, water scarcity, and rising greenhouse gas emissions. We do not merely inherit this planet from our ancestors; we are borrowing it from our children. Small changes, like switching to reusable water bottles or walking instead of driving, are not just 'nice ideas'—they are necessary steps to ensure the Earth remains habitable for future generations. Why does the author mention that we 'borrow' the Earth from our children?
