We humans are tampering with the world in many ways. I don’t have to count, as it will be an endless list.

You must be aware of what is happening in your own surrounding.

I always explore my neighborhood, wherever I live. I observe the health of the soil, water, air, flora, and fauna, mindfully.

In one area, I saw a fishing line left behind like the picture above.

On a beach pier, I saw a poor gull with one leg.

The invisible nylon fishing line entangled it’s leg and cut off the blood flow to it.

With no hands to extricate itself, the poor bird lost a leg.

Can you imagine its plight?

Be nice to nature. That will be your best legacy.

Let’s act responsible and be kind.
