Journal 29: Nature in Control

Nature in control is a scary thing.  Many of the natural disasters in the world are devastating.  It is frightening to think that we cannot control our surroundings all the time. If nature really had control, it would probably kill all humans.  Most likely with a zombie apocalypse, nature would slowly make all humans into brain sucking zombies. I think if I was nature, I would throw in a couple of tornado's to accompany the zombies because humans kill nature.  Humans release a huge amount of toxic substances such as carbon dioxide or nuclear waste.  If you have ever seen The Simpsons on television, there is a joke fish who has three eyes.  This may be a joke on the show, but there are many mutations common in the world now.  In rivers in the United States, there have been frogs found that have three or four legs.  That is kind of crazy if you ask me!  I think that nature should be left alone.  However, as humans, we destroy a lot of beauty in nature due to our urbanization and development of land.  Our farms are destroying the soil by over planting.  Our cities are making millions of pounds of trash each day!  We also let dangerous gases into the atmosphere, and this changes our weather and damages the Earth little by little.  I think that if we all returned to the methods of the founders of the United States, we might be able to save nature.  We should start churning our butter with those churners that look like plungers.  We should also start using candles again to save energy and electricity.  We should also heat our bath water with a teapot to save heating bills and yet again nature.  We need to learn how to be more frugal and also to conserve what is important.  The most important change to make would probably be to use horse and buggy again.  Now we only use horses as a filler in beef and it grosses everyone out.  I do not think that nature is in control as much as we think.  We are controlling natures death.
