Earth
Commendation to The Times for capitalizing the word Earth in the editorial about oil pollution of the Monongahela River (“Monongahela Outrage,” Jan. 7).
Capitalization puts Earth on an equal footing with those artificial geographical areas called nations and reminds us that humanity has responsibilities within and beyond national borders to cherish planet Earth.
