In my eyes, nature is an extremely powerful aspect of life. It not only serves as a valuable part of people's everyday interests but it holds major importance to their lives. I feel that nature was created as the way it is by God to be something of legitimate meaning to each of us. God created an absolute awesome world filled with amazing surroundings in nature. The forests, oceans, deserts, and many more examples all symbolize the amazing power of God. Nothing in nature was created by God without a purpose. Nature is not only visually inspiring but emotionally. We all should feel entitled to protect nature just as we would other people.
