We should look to nature for even more practical solutions for living sustainably on planet Earth. After all, if we just stop to look, and learn, nature can teach us how to build extraordinary things, with zero waste, amazing resilience, all powered by the sun.
I agree with this alot, through traveling to different countries i have been able to see the way that individuals sustainable live there lives with nature and the amazing impacts that it has on them. We as a society have become really wasteful and that has greatly impacted our resources for the future. Such as decreasing the use of plastic and using sustainable options, collecting rain water for gardens rather than using a hoes, and so on.
