What are the natural elements that surround us?
Invisible air, plants rooted in the earth, water -- the essential for life, mountains, rivers, seas and animals.
Environment surrounds us.
Human beings receive the benefits of nature in order to survive.
But humans are also part of nature.
Nature is our livelihood, giving us food and clothing, providing us resources, enabling daily life.
Air to breathe, water to drink, foods made in paddy fields and farms, salt and fish from the ocean.
Could humans live without nature? Maybe not even a single day, because humans depend on and are a part of nature.
This is truly “the unity of nature and humans”.
