I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to
the next town. On the way a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. After he had got
into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language.
Except a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly
reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, “Do you speak English?” As I soon
learned, he was English himself!

Nature is all that surrounds us. These are animals, plants, water, sky, and earth. If we do not protect nature and take care of it, then in the end, it will die, and we will simply have nowhere to live. The world around us plays a great role in our life: it gives us food, land, air and much more.
Many people, especially in the spring, like to travel to the forest or the river to take a break from all problems and worries. But after these visits, there are whole piles of garbage, as well as glass bottles and plastic. Nature suffers from this too. But there are people who cannot indifferently look at such an attitude towards their native nature. They began to create special socio-political organizations that remind everyone of the consequences of such an attitude of people towards the environment.
