We have only one home. It's name is 'Earth'

We have only one home in the universe. It's name is Earth. Being aware of the problems of planet and to make it better place is very important to protect the planet for future generations. The main reason for the environmental studies and activities is to serve this purpose by creating awareness. Everything that has built modern human society, with its benefits and luxuries, is provided by nature and we will continue to need these natural resources to survive and thrive. Increasingly, research demonstrates nature’s incalculable importance to our health, wealth, food and security. As we better understand our reliance on natural systems it’s clear that nature is not just a ‘nice to have’. It should be created a culture defining all links between people and nature in order to protect the environment and support the needs of the present and future generations.
