The food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the climate that make our planet habitable all come from nature. Yet, these are exceptional times in which nature is sending us a message:
To care for ourselves, we must care for nature.
It’s time to wake up. To take notice of the environmental health.
It’s time to build back better for People and the Planet, Earth.
This World Environment Day, it’s Time for Nature.
