Is nature slowly losing the battle of survival to technology ?
"Green be gone...or at least that is what some conservationists fear will happen within the next few years. A recent study by the Nature Conservancy says that the world is experiencing a "real and fundamental shift away from nature." More people, according to the study, are moving away from the great outdoors and into the digital world. This means a decline in park visits, and a decline in the value society places on nature." -jennifer rod (of news team boulder)
But it can also be interpreted that maybe as we drift away from being everly dependent on nature, we will realize that natural elements are essential to our lives and then try as best that we can to help restore those resources, all we can hope is that it doesnt take too long for people to start missing green trees and clean water.

Whenever people talk about nature they always assum that nature is about rivers and lakes and deer scampering throughout the woods. Nature isn't just baout woods and forests and how we need to protect them for our own safety. Nature is what is needed for us. New York City, Chicago, and the sewage dump are all a part of nature. When a beaver cuts down a tree to dam up a river you don't hear anybody complaining about how that beaver is destroying nature because "its a part of nature". Well so is humanity. We change the world and the surroundings to our advantage. Man, technology, and nature are all the same thing. There's only a war between nature and technology, because people refuse to accept the fact that nature is more than trees and singing birds.
