hi I'm echo
and I want to talk to you today about
two things that are very important, very important to me, and they are
nature and the internet. these things seem so
vastly different like how can you compare them at all
one really great similarity between
nature and the Internet is that nobody really cares who you
are. you can go to these places
and appreciate things are happening around you no matter who you are
there's two ways manifested on the internet. the first is that you can remain anonymous
and so nobody's going to know who you are and judge you for it
and then the other way is that you can join a community of people
who won't judge you for who you are and in nature it's the same way
the trees, the plants, the animals, whatever's around
doesn't care you are. it doesn't discriminate against you
there's other ways that these places are similar and
also really great this is just the way
that really speaks to me right now. even though online
it's completely a virtually existence you don't have one
a physical self that you are being, you can still exist
within that space it's just a virtual space
whereas nature is physical space. non sequitur
I just finished this book called a sand county almanac
Aldo Leopold and he
believes in this land ethic where we should also
treat the earth as part of our community, as part of our society
and that's not really a thing that
happens which is upsetting because we need areas wild space to continue being
around to maintain a healthy ecosystem
and a healthy planet. he says that we need more education
but there's a problem with our current education because it doesn't demand
that people take responsibility
for the environment and I understand that's hard. you're not really going to care
about the environment if you too busy carrying about yourself
this a sort of hierarchy of
things that you care about. there's yourself on the most basic level
and then there's the other people you care about, your family
a wider community and the biggest thing on this tier
is the world and you can't care about the world
if you not prepared to care about yourself. but you don't have to care about
all of the world at once. it's a really big daunting
task. if you're more aware of nature you're more likely to care for it
there's a lot of people that believe that today's society is
filled with a bunch of 'digital natives' who've grown up
within a digital society and
because of that they are incapable of connecting with nature
even though that's really not the case so
my idea with project, I'm going to make more videos
is to connect these two beautiful
wonderful spaces, the Internet and
wilderness, bring wilderness to the Internet. it's a new way
looking at nature. I just want people to be aware
of nature so they can treasure it more and then it
will make people want to take care of it
anyways please comment down below and
tell me things. ask me questions I'm very new at this
