Nature Preservation By: Theresa Raths
O n the nature side, the scene
was a much more beautiful one: humans, plants, and animals found a way to live in harmony. Everything was made from safe, recyclable materials, and people truly cared about the environment, so they took care to properly dispose of all the garbage they used. This created a safer environment for the animals and plants to live in. No more were the trees and grasses and flowers smothered under the poisonous landfills, and the sweet woodland and sea creatures were free from the fear of choking on or getting tangled in plastic wastes left by irresponsible people. Greenery thrived, and areas once choked out by humanity’ s hand were again pastures of pure, green earth. Beauty, at its core, was visible here. Stretching for miles were rolling green hills, trees, and all forms of vegetation one could imagine. The birds were out again, happily singing their carefree song. The deer were grazing in the grass, trusting and peaceful. The squirrels, chipmunks, mice, and other small creatures scurried along here and there, busying themselves with foraging food. And the people were happy. They were breathing in fresh, crisp air, free from the impurities of industrialization. They had clean, pure water with no pollution. They had land that was healthy enough to harvest again, and they finally understood what it was to have a planet and a home that was free from poison. The sun shone on their smiling faces, and they took care to treat the earth as well as it had treated them. It was a scene of complete harmony, and it resulted in the happiness of all. There was a mutual respect and trust between humans and animals, and a mutual care and love between humans and the vegetation. It proved, beyond doubt, that when people decide to care for and love their planet, it will care for and love you back. This not only improved nature relations with humans, but also interpersonal relationships because people were able to go out into nature and strictly listen to each other. There were hiking trails, canoe paths, and sky boxes, where people could observe and experience the pure beauty of nature, and because they did not have phones or electronics with them, they could focus totally on each other. Thus, relationships all around were improved because everyone was able to love and care for what matters most. In all, the nature of this path was awe-striking, and it created an environment where true love was felt by all. In the truest sense of the word, the earth was once again, pure.
