7 PRINCIPLES OF NATURE

1.) Nature knows best.

This is the most basic principle of all the principles featured in this blog. We
humans have to understand nature and follow its rules, because if we want
to ensure a continuous and steady supply of resources, one must not go
against natural processes. If we, humans, caused any disruption in the cycle
of nature, this can bring imbalance to our ecosystem.

2.) All forms of life are important

Each organism plays a fundamental role in nature. It is easy to appreciate


the beautiful organisms like butterflies, especially if one knows their
important role in pollination. The giant ones like elephants, the whales, the
alligators – are the ones we respect mixed with fear or wonder and the
products they produce. But when it comes to unlovely, squirmy, and
troublesome creatures, this principle is unusually overlooked.

3.) Everything is connected to everything else

In an ecosystem, all biotic and abiotic components interact with each other
to ensure that the system is sustained. Any intrusion from outside may cause
an imbalance and collapsing of the system.

4.) Everything changes

The environment is constantly changing. Organisms also develop through


time. However, with our current technology, we have affected these natural
changes that these changes now causes problematic events to us. Humans
should rethink their relationship with the environment. Because what we
believe that is beneficial to the environment often turn out to be
catastrophic.

5.) Everything must go somewhere

Everything ends up elsewhere. It doesn’t just disappear. For example, if you


throw a piece of candy wrapper away, it disappears from sight but does not
cease to exist. It ends up elsewhere. Gases released in the atmosphere may
spread but it will end up a component of the atmosphere and can be brought
down by rains. Any particular type of waste should always be a concern to
us. It may be a pollutant or a resource depending on certain factors. Be a
responsible person and throw your trash in a proper place.

6.) Ours is a finite earth

Earth’s resources can be classified as either renewable or non-renewable.


Renewable resources are those that can be easily replenished by natural
cycles (e.g. water, air, plants, animals) while non-renewable resources are
those that cannot be replenished through natural cycles. Although renewable
resources can be replenished, it is important to understand that these are
renewable only if they are not overused and not destroyed from factors such
as pollution.

7.) Nature is beautiful and we are stewards of God’s creation!

Among all creatures, humans are the only ones made in God’s image and
have been given the right to have dominion over all His creations. Being the
most intelligent and gifted with reason, humans are capable of manipulating
creation to their own advantage. Yet, creation exists not to be ravaged or
abused but to be taken care of. Humans cannot exist without nature. They
are co-natural with the environment they live in. If the environment they live
in is destroyed, with it will go Homo Sapiens.
