Respect nature Part 20

Respect nature as nature deserves to be respected, once nature crumbles, we crumble with it.

*

I have seen multiple biographies of what humans do to our home (earth). Every time I watch these scenes, tears surface from sadness and the realization that we are extremely cruel and self-centered beings.

- Killing life in oceans

- Slaying forest life

- Gruesomely mishandling farm animals

- Destroying forests that provide oxygen

- Disposing of rubble everywhere for nature to consume

The reality of this is way more terrifying than you, or I could imagine. There is a balance to everything in nature, and we are flinging the balance into chaos.

I have watched countless times where people drive and dump their rubbish out the car windows, people set fire to land because they are angry, people dump in rivers, and I have watched people net water for fish, driving fish life to extinction.

We need to begin changing the way we look at the earth, and start realizing that this captivating place we call home has an expiring date. We can make small changes in our daily lives, in an attempt to help and save our home from devouring us.

- When driving we can keep our rubbish in a small bag until we get to our destinations.

- When throwing out an empty can food container, it's best to step on it or crush the opening because animals stick their heads through to get to the food, and they are unable to remove their heads again.

- Do not unnecessarily cut down a tree because it's irritating you or in your way, work around it.

- There is no need for watering your garden every single day, save water because water has a limit.

I am not implying that we must stop living, I am merely stating a question of what would happen if we woke up one morning and could not breathe? No plant life growing anymore? No water to drink?

The sad reality of this is that it is a reality that's going to come true one day. The earth looks after us every single day, I think it's just fair that we return the favor and respect nature.

Or wait, till she turns her back on us and consumes us without thinking twice about it.
