Use Nature Quotes To Increase Environmental Awareness

Nature is unique. She does not need us humans and would also without us in the perfect cycle of renewal continue to exist. It is we ourselves who may eventually disappear from the earth if we do not learn to become more natural and behave more sustainably.
