Emma Marris 'Trying To Say Nature Is Everywhere'

“Nature is everywhere”
Growing up I have always wondered what nature’s true meaning is. Although there are various interpretations of nature, I have always been confused about what nature really is and what its true purpose for human beings are. I recently stumbled across the ted talk “nature is everywhere” by Emma Marris. In the ted talk, Emma Marris clarified that nature is anything that can be multiplied and it is anything that has life, or in broader words nature is not only animals, trees, and flowers, but is can be further defined as us human beings as well. It was shocking to me that all my life I have been searching what nature truly is, but I was so blind to the fact that I am nature myself. Emma Marris then proceeded to successfully
In our society today, many things we think are nature in actuality are man made or are “man disturbed” as she said. During her speech, Marris mentioned that environmental writer Bill McKibben stated that because man has been detached from nature, and due to the climate changes everyday, we will eventually forget about nature and nature will perish.

Emma Marris also explained that even the parts of nature that are barely touched such as the Rocky Mountains and Yellow Mountains are deeply impacted by us humans.

Nature is an assembly of the many species with
She also further strengthened her argument by using ethos, emotional appeal, by assuring the audience that what is not touched can never be loved. She explained to the audience that we should allow our children to explore the wonders of nature, even the parts of nature that are perceived to be unappealing. The moment we permit our children to begin playing with touching nature their love of nature will be never ending and they will grow to love and protect it. We can never preserve nature if we do not experience it. I related with Emma Marris’ statement that nature will never be loved if it is not tied to our lives. Growing up I was taught to believe that some parts of nature are disgusting, and shouldn’t be touched, which resulted in my hating some aspects of nature and not being a nature lover. Now as young adult, I taught my younger siblings the same teachings I was raised on, and now we all do not tinker with nature and love it in any type of way, or not as much as we
