Natural Disasters
Natural Disasters
We always think humans stand on top of the world. But we can't see anything else when we are faced with nature, we are so small.
In the process of human development and advance, we are doing harm to nature, and we are blind to it. We don't see when forests are disappearing in front of our eyes and plants are dying everywhere, and we suffer more and more disasters such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, or even nuclear damages. In 2008 Sichuan was hit by a big earthquake. In 2011, in Japan, a strong flood followed after a gig earthquake resulted in many lives loss. I believe no one can stand out and say that these
disasters don't have anything to do with what we humans are doing.
If we can change the way we do things, perhaps we can live in a more harmonious world.
First, we should study ways to protect plants and forests, so that we could have fresh air.
