Caring for the environment is not just about stopping climate change. It's not just about lowering greenhouse gas emissions. It's more than that.
Our Earth has faced many challenges and has helped create and evolve many cultures. It has been the everlasting fountain of ideas, history, nature, individuality, uniqueness, and culture. That fountain should not stop.
You see, turning this beautiful, culture - filled, diverse world into an industrial, disaster - filled reality is not the way to go.
That doesn't mean that the answer to all of this is destroying all our cities, because that's part of the diversity this world has. But the answer is to stop making everything the same: into urban, fast - paced, polluted areas.
The answer is to keep some of our rural culture, our foundational traditions, and the side of us that is still there, still standing in the roots, the natural, Earth - filled roots of our early civilization.
Some people ask: why learn history? It's not useful in the modern - day world. We don't need to know who discovered this place or who wrote that.
This is the answer: it's to not make the same mistakes people made in the past, but to also remember the good things that happened, how foundation and civilization evolved, and our humble beginnings and beautiful culture that led us to success and progress and to where we are.
People, with their basic needs and jobs, were a bit more Earth - friendly back then. Everything came right from nature and was homemade, whether it was the natural "paints" cavemen used to create elaborate cultural cavern paintings or the herbal remedies usually women made from herbs and seeds in the forest.
Fast - forwarding, it was the handmade clothes people wore, it was the sweets and treats people only baked or bought from local bakeries.
There's really a lot we can learn from our intricate, unique, and challenging past. But one thing we can know for sure: it's that we should carry on our eco - culture that has long stayed with us, no matter if we thought of it or not. I'm not saying we should start cave painting, but we should realize the importance of this culture.
We can start by making our own cosmetics with natural, vegan ingredients, or growing at least some of our food in a garden. We can make simple remedies and research online for simple, homemade fixes we can make to cure or treat illnesses and other things, such as a simple hot lemon - ginger tea for a cold or a yogurt for mouth ulcers.
So, to conclude, if we start simple and learn and research about our heritage and culture, there's a lot of things we can learn, and we would be able to see that there are a lot of ways to help the environment as well.
