The relationship between nature and human

We cannot deny the truth that there is an intimate relationship between

nature and human. The nature offers a certain give and take that needed to

human beings for what they needed to survive, and human beings， however，

as one of the most important part in the food chain and the most intelligent

species found by now， making a great effect on nature in its turn。 We also

can’t deny that our human beings might forever depending on nature for all we

need， so there is a need of harmony between the interactions of humans and

nature. Helping us to better understanding such this relationship, the

authoritative scientists have induced the relationship into three phases that

humans have undergone， primitive worship， exploitation, and harmony.

Initially, people were extremely devout to nature， for nature has gave

birth to almost everything, in the same manner， everything was considered as

a person in the early thought， in the loose meaning， they possessed

personality by human imaginary， additionally， many such ”persons” were

worshipped—earth, sun， moon， sea, wind, etc。 This led later to more

complete personification， people also created a large quantity of poets,

ballads， or even mythologies to express their worship and respect to nature.

It's true that our human beings have had a long period of time having

worship to the nature， but when the decades have witnessed the technical

development in our society, we had made great exploitation to the nature,

exhausting the resources. We present here a list of some of the major

environmental catastrophes: climate change, deforestation， water pollution,

and introduction of alien species etc. Personally, I think we need to acquaint

ourselves with such these problems in brief in order to find out the solution to

release or even solve it.

As we all known, With rising temperatures, rising sea levels, melting

icebergs， shifting ocean currents, climate change is the most serious

challenge facing the human race now. The livestock should be responsible for

18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions measured in CO2

equivalent.Deforestation is another severe problem confronting to our earth.

The forest rate has decreased rapidly in a speed that you can hardly imagine。

It is reported that we are losing forestland at a rate of 375 km2 each day.

Adding it together, the world has already lost 80% of its original forests。 What

worse, at the world's current rates， deforestation will lead to 5-10％ of tropical

forest species extinct every decade。On the procession that we built our

country to a technical one, we are forced to face to the water pollution。 The

major sources of pollution are from animal wastes, chemicals from factories，

and fertilizers and pesticides used for feed crops. The alien species have been

introduced either accidentally or intentionally to a new place for the reason of

economics, aesthetics, or other reasons are probably become invasive alien

species that have significant harmful effects on both ecosystems and

economies. To illustrate， it forced some species that cannot adapted to other

places to move out of their habitats, which made some endangered species on

the verge of the extinction. On the other hand， some species of faunas and

floras are capable of invading well-protected ecosystem， they often invade

the habitants altered by the humans， such as the agriculture fields human

settlement， pools or even the roadways, the case in point is Shui Hulu， which

invaded China years ago。

It is said that when the Earth was created, God gave man a prime

directive to take his responsibility to, and stewardship of the planet. Granted,

when we look around us today and see how polluted our world has became;

we find that man has failed in his stewardship, but we still cannot loss our

confidence on changing this situation, preventing our earth becoming worse

and worse。

So, apparently， the third phase in the relationship between human and

nature is to keep the harmony。 It's true that we also have a hard way to go on

this way of protection， but we should strongly believe that to protect the

environment, every individual can devote their own contribution to help。 To

illustrate, you may reduce your fossil fuel consumption, recycle and reduce

consumption in general。 The less you consume and the more you recycle，

the less pressure will be on the nature。 We should not break the balance of

the earth system any more； we must treat the earth in a substantial way,

concerning the future life of our descendents.

However, you should mind yourself every time that nature is not just a set
