Our connection with Nature

We can see it as a way in which we attempt to sustain the world by creating recyclable materials, and that having a finite amount of resources is an obvious problem which should be very easy for everyone to see. What is hidden is how much closer our created recyclable goods are to nature than it seems at first. We can think of the natural life cycles of such materials the process in which the natural overtime changes and moulds itself. We can also see the drastic effects that humans have upon the natural world. Aluminium is used in many daily single-use items, whereby a large amount of waste is created, if we do no carefully and effectively get rid of it. It is up to us to use the products of nature and to decide whether we use it correctly or not.
