More About balance of nature

Nature has been here for a long time. It helps all living things. Plants, animals, and the earth all work together. When one part is sick, it can make others sick too.

In our daily lives, we need nature. We eat food from plants and animals. We breathe air that plants make. Nature gives us water to drink.

In the future, we must care for nature. If we do, it will keep helping us. We can plant more trees and clean our parks. This way, nature stays strong!
