Intepretation of State of the Planet passage

Robert Hass's state of the planet is a powerful poem about the way we treat our planet as well as a challenge to make a change. With lines like "we know we're going to die" and "the earth needs a dream of restoration" we see a sense of urgency in Hass's planet, we see a sense of urgency in the people as if he dreams of the planet and its people being one in nature, but sees that as too much of a task for us evovled humans " it must be a gift of evolution that humans can't sustain wonder. We'd never have gotten up from our knees if we could". Hass like us is searching, seeking, wondering what else is out there, he pokes fun at evolution, however it seems clear that Hass doesn't believe in God, but he wants a change. Like much of the World Hass feels that something is terribly wrong, the way we treat our planet is the same way we treat each other. We downgrade and destroy it each and everyday and we never stop to see the beauty of the world that is around us. Hass makes a statement "the earth needs a dream of restoration" and this needs as well as the rest of the text to be interpretated because we need to see what is hass communicating here? What is he telling us? What is he telling the Earth? One theory I have is that Hass sees the earth and us as one and he looks at the destruction of every day living on the Earth from both us and the planet and sees that we as mankind need a dream of restoration. What does that word mean? Restoration is the act of renewel, restoring or reastablishing, you see Hass is really challenging us in this short sentence to begin to restore things, to look at the way we have been doing things, the way we litter or what we even use and making a change because he sees that every little change makes a difference in thi world. Every little thing can bring on a new change. If we simply scan this passage we think it is a beautiful representation of the world and the way we are and that we say " we need to take some time and enjoy nature more" But this passage is a challenge, a challenge for you and me to take our voices and our hands and our thoughts and begin to dream of a clean and better world for people to live in. This text means a lot to me as I have grown up near the beach and the shear beauty of the beach at night as you watch the sun go down can blow your mind, it can put you in a different state of mind as you sit on the beach all day just basking in the sun and enjoying the sand with the music playing and hanging with friends and stuff but that day can be ruined as you look around and see the empty bottles and boxes and trash that people simply leave behind. It gets me so mad, so I see this and I read this passage and it makes you realize that you are not the only one that feels this way, that there is somebody out there who wants to see people treating this planet right. Sure him and I have different views on God as I look at the world as God's gift to us, I mean the trees, the plants, the water, the animals are all ours to have dominion over but if we don't treat that dominion with responsibility and if we don't take care of it then we shoot ourselves in the foot and we mistreat God's gift to us. The fact is that we should care more about the planet then the people of the world do, we should be the first ones to throw are trash away and to keep our environment clean, we should be involved in taking care of things and in making a difference in this world. We should give away the food we don't eat instead of throwing it away, we should make the change that others want to see. Its are calling to be Christ like, Its are calling to refocus and to change the "state of the planet".
