Nature is all around us

Nature is a mixture of insects, plants, trees and animals. Without nature, you would not have any pets, trees or flowers.

If you like fruit, but you burn gasoline, it can poison trees and bushes, which means less fruit products there are. All fruit comes from trees or bushes.

Now, take a look at your clothes. Did you know that clothes like sweaters are made from wool? And wool comes from sheep. Now chickens lay eggs and you are eating chicken eggs. Don’t forget chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets are made from chickens.

Don’t forget the cows! Cows give us the best milk in the world! I am just telling you, you are drinking milk from a cow. 

How about fish? Yummy fish products are fish sticks and sushi. Let’s say you like fish, but you also throw trash in the ocean. The trash kills the fish, which means less fish products.

I hope you know why I told you this. Nature is all around you.  When you burn gasoline, trees breathe it in. When you cut down trees, it gets hotter than usual.
