Should we say "care for the earth" or "care about the earth"?
Can any teacher tell me whether we should say "care for the earth" or "care about the earth"? Thanks!

Both are common and have the same meaning. (followed by for or about ) to have regard, affection, or consideration ( for ) - Collins English Dictionary Note that care for must be used when care means to provide care: to care for the sick.
