Features: Will there still be green in our future homes? What is the ideal relationship between humans and nature? How can humans and nature achieve harmony? What can each of us do for ecological conservation? This book is dedicated to exploring these questions. It consists of relatively independent articles, including four series: Wonderful Nature, Learning from Nature, Eco-friendly Living, and Ecological Discussions, as well as four ecological literary works collected in the appendix. By addressing the lack of ecological ethics and the concerns about the current ecological situation, the author elaborates on the ideal relationships between humans and nature, humans and humans, and nature and nature. It also discusses the moral awareness and value orientation that humans should have in the era of ecological civilization, as well as the role each of us plays in ecological cultural construction. The book strives to avoid rigid moralizing and dull data accumulation. It does not focus heavily on theoretical aspects of ecological culture but instead uses vivid stories, beautiful essays, and incisive arguments to share with you the timeless and ever-evolving changes of nature. This book is suitable for all those who love life and are concerned about the ecological environment. It can also serve as a reference for environmental workers engaged in environmental engineering, environmental planning and management, and ecological conservation. If you simply want to tell your children stories about nature, this book is also a great choice.
