The foods we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink and the climate that makes our planet habitable all come from nature. For instance, each year, marine plants produce more than a half of our atmosphere’s oxygen, and a mature tree cleans our air, absorbing 22 kilos of carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen in exchange. Despite all the benefits that our nature give us, we still mistreat it. That is why we need to work on that. That

It also has the second-largest population after China, which it will surpass in less than a decade if current trends continue. While per-capita emissions are amongst the lowest in the world, it is also the third biggest generator of emissions.
