Nature has always been there. GOD created it to infinity with vast purpose for all human beings. The magical thought of how these wonders were created cannot be answered because it was created by virtue of God's plan. We make it a better place to live in. How do you make it happen?

What makes you think GOD created it? Couldn't nature existed without a creator?

Hi meissen!
Appreciating and respecting everything around us would be a good start. As we learn to we would realize that nature has so much to offer to us for safety, beauty, health protection and that should make us believe and committed in giving back.

I dont do a lot. but simple acts can help a lot. We have planted trees her in the company premised and i water them sometimes, there are people who do it regularly. But i do support the drive to save nature. I dont print anything unless it is very important. I tend to recycle paper.

I don't think it's going to happen, people are too selfish and are taking over the natural parts of the world too now. It's quite sad how rainforests are being destroyed and habitats are dissappearing and in turn species of animals are becoming extinct. I think humans will carry on this way until they destroy themselves.

By appreciating it and not spoiling it.. Maintain it's serenity and peace.. Promoting it to other people and of course by preserving it's elements. I will not throw garbage of any form on it. I will not burn anything, or smoke anything on it to prevent air pollution,. if necessary i wouldn't allow people to become inhabitants of a specific area to preserve the area.
