Earth is important to culture because it is the place where all people live. We depend on the Earth for many things, like air to breath, water to drink, land to grow food, and places to explore and have fun. Every culture around the world has stories, songs and art that celebrate the Earth and all its wonderful features. These stories express the value and importance of our planet to each culture. Studying different cultures can help us learn more about our planet, how others relate to it, and how we can care for it.
