FINAL PRESENTATION NATURE AUSTON CRAVENS

RESPONSES TO NATURE Today I'm going to be talking about nature and how it connects with humans and our lives. • I wanted to link nature with humans and animals because I wanted to talk about both the positive and negative things they bring. Humans be benefit nature in many different ways but they can also be harmful to nature as well.

INTRODUCTION TO RESPONSES TO NATURE. • I chose this piece from the text because I wanted to talk about the charts in the reading and the effects humans have on nature. I also wanted to talk about some of the information I found to be interesting. I wanted to inform the audience that humans have harmful effects on the planet.

IN THE U. S. • NEGATIVES • We throw away over 2. 5 million plastic bottles • We produce enough Styrofoam cups to circle the earth 436 times. • We throw away enough paper to build a wall from L. A to New York. • We throw away 570 diapers each second. • We throw away enough aluminum to rebuild our air line fleet every three months. • Each year we fill enough garbage trucks to stretch from earth to the moon.

CONTINUED • The text states “In a few short centuries, industrial civilization had spread from the western fringes of Eurasia to sprawl across the face of the planet. Plundering the riches, fouling the air, and remolding life forms at will”. • This quote is referring to how man kind has just done what they’ve wanted with our planet. They haven’t gave back or done anything major to fix the problem. We mine, take and do as we please.

POSITIVES • Not everything we do as humans are negative when it comes to nature, we do benefit them as well. • In many different places around the world there are nature reserves and sanctuaries. For example, in the U. S. we have many protected national parks. The amazon rain forest have parts and sections that are protected and free of exposure. In places in Asia like Japan and China, there areas that a protected and also there are religious and non-religious groups they focus on the preservation of nature.

CONCLUSION • Humans can have a positive effect of the planet, but can also have a very negative and harmful effect to nature. • THE END
