Love for the Environment

My first time to interact with nature was not a good experience. It is almost 13 years ago, but it still seems like yesterday. It was so cold and i was practically freezing. But if i was to the family was to eat, then i had to go and fetch fire wood.
And so, i went. Two hours later, i had swelling all over my body, courtesy of mosquito bites. I vowed to cut down all the trees and bushes in which these vampires were breeding enmasse without.
Unfortunately for me, I was later to learn that these creatures had as much a richgt, an inherent ecological right to live just as i did. The question was, How do we co-exist?

Continues! Watch this space.
