1. Is there anything that you like about nature? If yes then what it is?

I love the beauty and peace and quiet.

2. What do you dislike or absolutely hate about nature?

Too hot at times in Summer and too cold at times in the Winter.

3. According to you, what's the least bad kind of pollution? (Air, water, noise, etc)

Noise. You have to eat and drink and there are ear plugs.

4. Have you ever planted a plant or a tree?

I can't remember ever doing such.

5. Do you throw away your kitchen scraps in the dustbin?

They go out for the stray dogs and cats that show up in the neighborhood. Some have become quite used to me and are playful but can be skittish.

6. If you were something like environment minster of your country what would you do for the environment?

Can't think of anything. Not that there are bad ideas but dealing with the human element on the issue has me wary of their agenda and motivations. What's their angle what are they getting out of it, are they hypocrites. It is much like the supposedly true story that George W. Bush living in an environmentally friendly home while Al Gore doesn't. Gore is an example of yeah right, we all need to live a certain way but not you.

 

[Saint Rita]

then geese honking may be considered noise yet they are doing their living thing and need to do that. in your ear it may be noise. to another goose it may be music.

Completely agree but we don't have control over geese but we do have control over unnatural noise pollution and people have to suffer from hearing loss because of it.

Rock and roll ain't noise pollution"

It can be, if it's too loud.

and provide free or low cost bicycle schemes for everyone

I think this one's a really bad idea, especially because cycling can cause sexual dysfunctions in both men and women.

I know, it's from a song. But you're right about that. I try to keep mine at a reasonable level.

 

[KM76710]

Too late for me and hearing loss. Too much time when younger shooting firearms without hearing protection, back then you were a wimp if you used it.

That's terrible!

Are you able function properly with your current level of hearing?

 

[Saint Rita]

Are you able function properly with your current level of hearing?

By properly I mean normally and without much struggle.

 

[KM76710]

Are you able function properly with your current level of hearing?

I can hear well enough, but I can notice the loss when others can hear something and I can not. The same went for fireworks, tractors, chainsaws, tools. The motors were worse with them being continuous and not an impulse sound.

Everything were all interconnected to it and part this amazing universe.

The cold to much snow, or to hot.

Neither if we pollute our environment it's all bad.

Yes planting anything is awesome!

Yes

6. If you were something like environment minster of your country what would you do for the environment?

Pass environmental protection laws and hold everyone accountable to protect our environment.

 

[shattered dreams]

1. Is there anything that you like about nature? If yes then what it is?

I loved the freedom of riding my motorcycle up to the mountains in my younger days and i loved hiking up to waterfalls

2. What do you dislike or absolutely hate about nature?

people that leave their trash everywhere and poachers!

3. According to you, what's the least bad kind of pollution? (Air, water, noise, etc)

I would guess maybe noise

4. Have you ever planted a plant or a tree?

i've planted my share of plants

5. Do you throw away your kitchen scraps in the dustbin?

i don't know what a dustbin is, but i do through them away

6. If you were something like environment minster of your country what would you do for the environment?

do a better job of keeping our rivers and streams clean, protect our wildlife and our forests

 

[Walker]

. Is there anything that you like about nature? If yes then what it is?

Sure, lots of things. I really like when the leaves turn on the trees in Autumn in particular.

2.

What do you dislike or absolutely hate about nature?

This is so mean but if I'm not feeling well in particular I hate the sound of birds chirping.

4.

Have you ever planted a plant or a tree?

Yeah, I've planted trees before. I think it's a nice thing to have in the yard or whatever.
We also planted a tree when my son was just a baby baby. It was a Joshua tree (because he's Josh). We moved out of that house later though, after my mother died there. Wonder how the tree is.

5.

Do you throw away your kitchen scraps in the dustbin?

Yes, for the most part. I'm American so we have garbage disposals in a lot of homes but my current house has a really poor performing one so I try not to use it.

6.

If you were something like environment minster of your country what would you do for the environment?

I'm really liking the part of the quarantine that is making the air pollution so much better for people worldwide. It's not a problem where *I* live but I think it's a real issue elsewhere.
Who knows where to start though? People still don't have fresh WATER everywhere for fucks sake.

Cool ty for the tags @Karlos
Tagging @Kiwi2016 @Lane @Blue Star @Baywasp @sinking_ship

1. Is there anything that you like about nature? If yes then what it is?
Yes! Lots of things but especially trees, plants, flowers, animals, mountains, the ocean, sand, prob. more things but those are the main things I can think of right now.

2. What do you dislike or absolutely hate about nature?
Bugs, spiders, extreme weather (too hot or too cold), snow, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, any kind of extreme storms and anything gross that either looks gross or smells gross (or both lol).

3. According to you, what's the least bad kind of pollution? (Air, water, noise, etc)
Hard to answer kinda cos I don't think any pollution is particularly "good" but I guess noise? Lol really not sure, I sure don't like that kind of pollution either.

4. Have you ever planted a plant or a tree?
No don't think so sorry.

5. Do you throw away your kitchen scraps in the dustbin?
Yes, we don't have a compost system in our building so even if we wanted to do that we'd have nowhere to empty it other than in the garbage bin downstairs.

6. If you were something like environment minster of your country what would you do for the environment?
Not very sure on this sorry.

 

[Baywasp]

Thanks for inviting me @JMG
1. Is there anything that you like about nature? If yes then what it is?
Yeah, I really like the snow and cold. And even just foggy mornings.
2. What do you dislike or absolutely hate about nature?
When summer gets hot and sticky.
4. Have you ever planted a plant or a tree?
Yes, I've gardened with my mom in the past and also took a few environmental horticulture classes in San Francisco, including one that focused on plant propagation.
5. Do you throw away your kitchen scraps in the dustbin?
I do. Composting doesn't really seem to be a big thing here like it is in San Francisco. Hell, a lot of us hardly even recycle, let alone compost.

 

[Saint Rita]

No don't think so sorry.

Don't be sorry and plant 20,000 trees, right now! It's my order!

 

[Lane]

Hi, @JMG thanks for tagging me. I dont know how I missed this yesterday.

 

[Lane]

I luv the colors of nature, the extreme brightness that almost hurts your eyes in the blooms at Spring, and the variety of color on animals, reptiles, insects. We pale in comparison.

 

[Auri]

This is so mean but if I'm not feeling well in particular I hate the sound of birds chirping.

You can make them stop.
