This is my own weird idea about the natural world (what nature does and is) versus the modern world (technology, pollution, etc.). One thing I love about where I live is I have the ability to walk out my door and see more trees than anyone could count. Working at a tourist shop I've learned most people don't get that chance. Then some of the tourists move here and then more things are needed until the city becomes another version of Seattle. I don't like it and don't understand why people can't just take care of their own land and make it more natural instead of wasting resources here. I realize this doesn't always happen, but it still happens and I don't know how you may feel, but I never want to see my home turn into another type of Seattle where I'd never see the trees or water again. There are few places left this gorgeous in the world and I hope no one takes advantage of this place without realizing it - just respect Mother Nature and her Earth by keeping it clean and away from disrespect (greedy business people & careless tourists). Remember this philosophy which my dad taught me:
"no matter where you go, always clean up your own trash and something of someone else's. Because if a million people did this in the united states every day (1/2 people) then our world can be kept beautiful."
