The Balance of Nature

The balance of nature is the way that all animals, plants, and all living things on Earth fit together to make the Earth the way it is today. Everything in nature affects something else. For example, when it rains it benefits all living life on the Earth because everyone and everything needs water to live. Without the power rain the Earth would not be able to function. In the middle of the summer when there is a drought we always have to be conscious of how much water we use and save it because we have a limited supply of it. Another example of how there is a balance of nature is the food chain. We as humans need animal and plants to live. Our bodies need certain foods and nutrients that only plants and animals can give us. Nature definitely pushes to keep itself balanced because even if humans do something to make the Earth unbalanced, nature compensates for it to become balanced again.

I do think that the world is in balance today. Nature compensates for humans mistakes so it keeps nature in balance. Although the Earth is in balance as of now, it was more in balance in the past before the Earth became so populated. If we keep abusing the Earth like we have been with polluting the air and using up our limited supply of fossil fuels, nature may not be able to compensate and nature may not be balanced in the future. Many animals are becoming extinct and it is greatly affecting our environment. On the other hand, humans are trying to help the Earth now that they realize that they were greatly damaging it. Once humans find out that there is an animal about to become extinct they take them into an animal shelter and help them repopulate their species. If humans continue to recycle, and be conscious of keeping a green community the natural balance of the Earth should be fine.

Human beings are a big part of the balance of nature. Most of the things humans do for the balance of nature are not benefiting it. Once humans began to roam the Earth the balance of nature was disrupted a bit. Humans did disrupt the balance of nature, but they did not even realize that they were doing it. Now that humans are more intelligent and we have become aware of all the damage we were doing to our Earth, we are starting to fix it. We are doing everything we can to keep nature balanced and we are attempting to fix the mistakes we made in the past. Everyone is trying to spread the word of becoming a “Green Planet”. We are trying our best to make up for our mistakes and make the world a better place. With recycling, energy saving light bulbs, hybrid cars, eco-friendly water bottles, and reusable food shopping bags, humans are trying their very best to conserve energy and keep the natural world in balance.
