Love the nature.

LOVE NATURE, LOVE YOUR LIFE

"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men". St. Francis of Assisi  

Loving nature should be one of the easiest things to do and something that must come to us naturally. If not for anything, to satisfy the selfish human nature! Do you ask why? It’s simple, LOVING NATURE IS LOVING YOUR OWN LIFE. 

 The loss of biodiversity and the quality of nature harms the basic psychological interests of man: nature contains beauty and wonders, offers a variety of experiences and challenges, acts as a mental anchor, generates insight and wisdom.

Plants, animals and ecosystems bring important economic and social benefits. Vegetation has cultural, aesthetic and recreational importance to all humans. Interaction between organisms and their environment are important to human survival: humans rely on ecosystems that function properly for clean air and water and healthy soil

Water is fundamental to the survival of all humans. The human body is primarily water. Infants are made up of 70 percent water, while adult males are 60 percent and females are 55 percent, it is said. Apart from drinking water, most economies depend on water (agriculture, transport, manufacturing, etc). The condition of freshwater ecosystems has a critical impact on the wider environment, especially for sustaining native wildlife and vegetation. Our water bodies serve us in many other ways. Beaches are a great leisure resort for many people. The oceans and seas support a vast array of marine life and ecosystems of great importance. Where do our fish come from? What about the prawns, lobsters, etc?

 Trees produce the oxygen that was mentioned in the paragraph above. Let's face it, we could not exist as we do if there were no trees. Trees absorb dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that enter the soil in a process known phytoremediation. Trees can either store harmful pollutants or actually change the pollutant into less harmful forms. Trees filter sewage and farm chemicals, reduce the effects of animal wastes, clean roadside spills and clean water runoff into streams. Trees control noise pollution, slow storm water runoff and by so doing check erosion. Trees serve as carbon sinks against excessive carbon emissions into the atmosphere, clean the air and serve as windbreaks.

I admit that it is so easy for one to pursue quality life totally ignorant of what a quality environment can offer. Because quality of life have been examined with many determinants including financial security, health, length of residence in an area, satisfaction with work, education, perceived empowerment, social opportunities, loneliness, community belonging, living with a partner, living in a less densely populated area, family relations, housing, religion, and self-esteem, etc (Chipuer et al. 2003, Cramer et al. 2004, Michalos 2004, Tay et al. 2004). But in all these assessments, the importance of the natural environment in quality of life has been largely overlooked. But this is a time for awakening. If you did not know, now you know. 

 

 LOVE NATURE, LOVE YOUR LIFE.
