Environmentalism

Nature is defined as our environment. It is the interaction between the physical world around us and the life within it like the atmosphere, climate, natural resources, ecosystem, flora, fauna and humans. Nature also includes non-living things such as water, mountains, landscapes and many other things.

What can nature give us?

Being in nature or even looking at scenes of nature helps decrease anger, fear and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Being close to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it helps your physical wellbeing too. It can reduce blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and the production of stress hormones.

What does nature mean to me?

Nature not only gives myself and others piece of mind, a sense of balance and the wonder of its beauty, but also sustains all of our lives. We need to embrace and protect nature and in turn protect our own.
