Nature Literacy

I define nature literacy as being able to look at nature, understand, and read it the way we look at a text and are able to do those things. Out generation is definitely becoming less literate. Today much of nature is being replaced. Even in my own neighborhood, I constantly see new housing developments and such where trees once were. Although houses are both essential and beneficial to humans we must also realize the importance of nature. This can be done by improving our literacy of nature by simply making an effort to learn a little more.
