Why should people learn about nature and respect it?

Question

I have to do an essay and I can't really think of any really good reasons

Answer 1

Because you are nature and it is you.  Think about how you're currently defining "nature".  That's probably your hold up.  If all you're thinking of respecting is Yosemite Valley or the arctic ice shelf or ant hills in Africa it won't mean anything to you because these things are far away and not directly connected to you.  If you think of nature as your body and it's abilities, your dog, what you eat, so called weeds and what these things have in common, how they interact or effect each other it may become more clear why you need to understand it.

Answer 2

1: Disaster prevention and risk reduction (hurricanes, flash floods etc)

2: Food supplies

3: Damage to the environment has unforeseen consequences eg deforestation leading to lanslides.

Answer 3

There are many reasons. The best reason is to help out the future generations. By helping out the planet you basically help ensure that your kids will have a better life than they would otherwise. Also by helping the environment you can in many ways decrease your dependency on expensive fuel sources: Natural gas and Oil. By keeping the environment healthy you promote variation of species, and therefore preserve plants and animals which might provide cures, or luxuries that we do not yet know of.

Answer 4

care about it because if we didn't have flowers, plants, or trees, we may not be here because since they breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen and we breathe out carbon dioxide (and some oxygen) and breathe in oxygen they help us live and we help them. so if we don't care for them its like they wont care about us

Answer 5

I don't know exactly but that is a question. You got to learn about nature because its part of your life and you need to keep clean for the next generation. I pick up trash and put it in the green recycle bin. I really do care about the environment alot. I do respect the environment alot.

Answer 7

can't you just argue the point that there's no really good reasons? i mean, aesthetic and moral reasons are all you really find, and those things are all personal choice.
