A Plea for Nature...

Every time I am in the outdoors, nature would always amaze me and energize me and heal me.

And yet, humans have caused so much destruction to nature.  Forests are cut down and with it carbon sinks disappear, habitats are destroyed, species become lost forever.  Earth is defaced!  All in the name of development and all because of greed. 

Why do humans keep wanting more and more of everything we already have?

We need to protect and save what is left of the forests in the world.  We need to act now.  We need to be aware of our impact on nature and make the effort to reduce our carbon footprint.  Say 'no' to plastic bags and styrofoam packs, reduce our consumption of electricity, of water and paper, of unnecessary consumer items, reduce wastage, especially of food.  Become an advocate for the environment!

Nature is so beautiful and splendid.  But in the human race to want more and have more, we have taken it for granted and are destroying the one thing on earth that we should appreciate and protect the most.

This is a plea to you to make the effort to 'go green' for the environment and for yourself.  Even a little effort goes a long way.

Just think about this...  With nature destroyed and with all the carbon emissions we create, there will come a day when the air is so badly polluted that we can't breathe it in anymore.  Water sources will be gone and streams so contaminated we can't drink from it anymore.

And we would have to live in a bubble.

Where, then, would all the dragonflies go?
