Living in Harmony with Nature

Our planet represents ourselves, if we harm our mother earth then we harm ourselves.
The mother earth is our home and our life, without fresh air, fresh food and fresh water, how can
we living things or living creature survive longer in this world? It hurt as a lot when we see
people who destroying our nature, when they do illegal logging, mining and many activities that
destroys the Earth.
How about you? How about us? How our government take action for this big issue in
nature? You what did you do? Did you just watch them like me, letting them to continue
destroying our nature. I think you also throwing a candy wrapper anywhere, and you will just
simply reply it’s just a small candy wrapper, did you know that a little thing you do everyday can
make a big impact in our society. So stop, we should stop throwing anything, anywhere, anytime.
Human will-being is directly connected to the way we treat the resources. For example,
we humans, people in this world love parties so much, like birthday parties, gender reveal
parties, christmas parties, and more. So after the parties we enjoy, what happen? Yes the
garbages scattered everywhere like plastic cups, plastic fork and spoons, palstic plate and many
more, were plastics are made from organic materials like cellulose, coal, natural gas, salt and
crude oil. A plastic cannot easily dissolve, it tooks a lot of years to pass by to make it gone. So
we people who is too lazy to recycle non-biodegradable materials, we just throw it anywhere that
can cause a flood or burning it which it releases toxic chemicals like dioxin, furans and styrene
gas into the air that are bad, just not for the nature but also to us, and all living creature on earth
will suffer.
Therefore, I conclude that if we look after the planet, the planet will look after us. If I and
you started the action today, just by showing your skills and our creative way to preserve the
beauty of our nature. Show to the world that we care and we love the earth, because what is the
purpose for being the smartest living creature on earth, if we don’t made the right choices on
how we use resources sustainably. So it is so clear that the message of the video living in
harmony with nature is how you treat yourselves properly, that is also how we should treat our
nature properly.
