Impact!

“Humans are 1 of the 233 species of primates.  We are closely related to the great apes (gorillas, orangutans and chimpanzees).

We are 1 of the 4650 species of mammals.  We have hair, mammary glands and give birth to live young, as most mammals do.

We are 1 of 52,500 species of vertebrates.  We have a backbone to protect our spinal cord, like all other vertebrates.

We are 1 of the 1,318,000 species of animals.  We breathe air and rely directly or indirectly on plants for food like all other animals.

Humans are 1 of the 1,750,000 species on the tree of life.  We are but one leaf on the Tree.

Yet, with a population of over six billion, humans have the greatest impact on the Tree of life. ” -  Rochelle Strauss.

All species are one of a kind.  They each have a right to live.  When you impact nature negatively it does not help nature.  Humans are nature.  If we see this, we treat nature with respect.

When ever you do something negative to nature like cutting down a half an acre of trees, it can destroy our environment.  Trees take in the bad air and let us have good air.

We can plant trees, flowers, anything as long as its not poisonous or toxious, to make sure we help our planet and the planet’s environments.
