Beauty of nature

Dear son

Nature is an art of god and we are responsible for it; we have to take care of nature and the environment like our own children. A lot of things threaten the environment such as global warming, climate change, droughts and some human activities. We have to appreciate and take care of nature.

I remember when I was your age my father took me to our backyard and we started cutting our lawn and he told me to prune the trees and shape them. After I pruned all the trees in our backyard, he said now look at them and see how beautiful they are, he was right, I looked at each tree and realized how gorgeous and pretty they are. Trees were dressed in red, yellow and green leaves and made our neighborhood look heavenly. He then asked me to breath, these trees make fresh air for us to breath he commented. He taught me how to appreciate nature. When I was in middle school, he took me to the mountains. The weather in the mountains was gloomy, and when we climbed the mountain one side was covered with a pine forest. The trees were extremely high and thick, I think that was the tallest tree I have ever seen in my life, their knotted large roots were spread out all over the ground here and there, making walking the terrain a little bit harder because the ground was uneven and bumpy. The air was clean and fresh; after about 10 minutes climbing, we heard the sound of a stream, as we were walking towards the sound got louder, I could barely see it since I was so thirsty I ran and rushed to it for a drink. I think it was the tastiest water in my life, it smelled of soil, and it was so cold and clear. I was so excited because I was about to get on top of one of the world’s roof, when we finally got to the top, we didn’t realize we made it at first because of the gloomy and foggy weather. The rain started and we could still barley see our surrounding, so we had to leave I was so disappointed but happy at the same time because we made it to the top, we had coffee with us, so we made some hot coffee and drank it. And my dad was asking me how did you like it and telling me where else we would go next time. And suddenly when we were packing up to leave, the sun broke through the clouds and the fog. We were amazed to see the incredible green valleys and sunset and the beautiful river. I was amazed and started walking down, everything was extremely tiny from my view, all the houses, cars and people. It was such a great experience for me, that when we left, I was so happy and excited and I wanted to tell everybody about my mountain climbing experience. I told all my friends, my teachers and all my neighbors about it, they got exited too and they also wanted to experience hiking the mountain. And I want you to enjoy your life, go ski in the mountain, hiking, Nordic walking, swim in the pool and spend time in nature, being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduce anger, fear and stress and increase pleasant feelings. I want you to take advantage of the beauty of nature and teach your children how to appreciate nature.

All these pollutions that factories make, deforestation, burning fossil fuels and other human activities can affect our environment. Nature is like our child and as such we need to take care of it and keep it clean so our children can enjoy it. There are many things that threaten nature and we need to prevent its destruction and take care of it.
