 The Earth is the mother of all life on this planet. All living being on this planet are the Children of the Earth. This is where life on this planet evolved. We all grew up together here through billions of years of evolution. Life evolved from the elements of this planet that provided the right environment to create the hydrocarbon life forms that exist today. We don't yet know if other planets have life but it is logical to assume that life on other planets would be very different than life on this planet. Our DNA came from the primordial goo (for lack of a better term) that resulted from Mother Earth's unique environment.
Mother Earth is the mother of life on this planet. We grow together through evolution. All living beings here are related to us. Earth is our common home.
We are related to all other life on this planet. We all share common DNA. We are all one big interdependent family dependent on each other for our mutual survival living together on our mother planet. We are all distant cousins of the same parent. Realists are therefore environmentalists because when we take care of our mother we help to ensure our survival.
