Try getting the mental image of Poison Ivy in her sexy strewn-on leaf dress and fiery red hair for a minute to focus on the bigger picture: Nature. With the word’s immediate associations with life, vitality, and all things fresh, good, and green, nature in its simplest sense is defined as the natural, physical, or material universe. It can refer to the phenomena that the physical world entails, as well as life in general. Nature and all its studies and endeavors serve as a large part of science, and are inclusive of plants and animals, weather, and the cosmos.

Be it the air that we breathe or the Chipotle you’re about to stuff your face with, nature is all around us and it’s absolutely important that we do our part and fight for its conservation, as well as being responsible and healthy people who do the basics of what a good human is supposed to do, which is Recycle, Reuse, and Renew.
