A way that I live interdependently with nature would be the daily appreciations that I reserve time during the day for. I enjoy going on walks in the morning (usually to walk the dog) and take time to just listen to the sounds of birds, leaves bristling, and wind blowing. For the rest of the day, I usually have headphones on or have some kind of music playing during the majority of the day which I am working, so these walks which I take without any headphones on feel like a breath of fresh air. Taking time to appreciate the nature that surrounds our homes feels like something that we take for granted, being that it might not be there forever, with all of the current urban development that is happening everywhere we look. We can find the characteristic of interdependency between us and nature where we often use nature to our own benefit, such as resources or relaxation. But nature can also depend on us, where we must preserve and care for our nature, such as watering plants, planting trees, maintaining lawns, etc. The caring for nature does not rely on a single individual, but community as a whole, where communities must come together to care for the nature which cares for us.

One way that I live interdependently with nature is by taking care of the area inside and outside of my house. As someone who has a big lawn and a lot of house plants, the best I can do to help the ecosystem that helps me so much, is to take care of it. I often water these plants, clean up residue, mow the lawn, and so on. On the other hand, One way that I live interdependently within my community, is the fact that we all know each other well. Interdependence doesn't always have to be constant, but the fact that I know so many people around my area, and they know me, shows that if either of us are ever in a pinch, we can trust the other will have our back.

I believe the way to live much more independently is not by "going on more hikes, watering my pants, recycling", but really just living much more simply. You can always go on a hike anytime, but that's not doing anything to improve nature. By being less wasteful of our resources, by avoiding trends that will disrupt the planet at our enjoyment, such as fast fashion, eating beef, etc., we're living for both today and for tomorrow, not some social structure of yesterday We need to rethink not only our actions, but our intentions. Why as a society do we value buying much more expensive materials that we will use once such as fast fashion or a car that is brand new (when we can just buy a used one, and avoid buying more clothes), when we can living much more independently with not just "nature" but also our communities in urban areas.

One way I live interdependently with nature is taking hikes and walks, accepting the beauty of life that surrounds us. Going on these walks makes me realize there are many smaller things I don't appreciate or take for granted and accepting/treasuring the smaller things in life. One way I live interdependently is being nice and mindful of people I encounter, especially at work. I haven't been meeting many people outside of work due to the pandemic but I try to be nice to my customers because they might be going through difficulties with their lives. Being nice to others not only makes us feel good, but the other person as well.

One way I live interdependently with nature is with agriculture. Having a garden in which my family and I work on really helps me connect with nature. Nature helps me out by providing me with fruits and vegetables and I give back by providing good soil and watering the plants. It's a fun way to really take time and be with nature. All these plants provide me with good energy and we help each other out.

In every aspect of my daily life, I live interdependently with nature. One interesting interdependency between humans and nature is the relationship between our sleeping patterns and the moon cycle. On average, we sleep later and get less sleep leading to/during a full moon. I take part in living interdependently with my community by spreading awareness of social injustices and information about pressing news. I personally do not experience the same injustices as some people in my communities, but the least I can do is educate people about current events and issues.

One way I live interdependently with nature is by making a conscious effort to not litter. If I'm ever in public and there is no trash can I wait until I get home to throw away any waste. I also try to pick up trash and throw it away if there is a bin nearby. One way I live interdependently with my community is by being kind to everyone, especially strangers because you never know what someone might be going through. When I am kind to people they tend to reciprocate that kindness, which creates a happy and respectful environment.

I live interdependently with nature by planting flowers and trees. Not only do plants filter pollutants and provide oxygen to help me breathe, but also provides pollen for bees to eat and reproduce, as well as shelter for birds and squirrels. In addition, I live interdependently within my community by shopping at local food markets and recycling.

# data[].attributes.body
I find that many of my hobbies are correlated with nature, whether it be surfing, rock climbing, or just hiking. I try to keep the areas which I do this activities clean by picking up any trash I might see and dispose of it on my way out. The way I live interpedently with my community is to try to model a more sustainable way of life when going out in public to try and make a difference that way.

# data[].attributes.body
One way I live interdependently is to not waste things such as water and food. For instance, I make sure to turn off the water while I’m not using. To reduce the amount of food being wasted, serve just enough to eat. Food thrown away causes considerable environmental pollution, so reducing the amount of food waste will help prevent environmental pollution.

One way I live interdependently with nature is by learning about all the nutrients my body needs from nature and trying to eat a less amount of processed food. One way I live interdependently within my community is by sharing my thoughts and ideas as well as helping others and listening when they talk without judging them.

# data[].attributes.body
I live interdependently with nature because of the activities I enjoy that involve nature. I enjoy going on hikes with my family near where I live. In the same way I depend on nature, nature depends on me and everyone else who is able to work towards preserving nature.

Doing daily small things, as not wasting water when I wash my hands, doing dishes and taking showers. Making sure that faucets aren't leaking. By recycling and placing trash, compost and recycling into the right cans. By buying local groceries at a local small neighbor markets. Choosing glass containers instead of plastic ones. By not smoking or using cleaning chemicals or sprays. By using paints that are human and environmental friendly.

Ensuring the cleanliness of the place where the person lives.  Careful cultivation and increase of green areas through the abundance of trees, flowers and plants. Efficient disposal of waste and garbage in a safe and healthy way, because it harms human health and brings insects and various diseases to it.  Recycle various materials such as: papers, boxes and empty boxes;  Because it is one of the most important sources of pollution for humans.  Not to waste the use of water and rationalize its consumption, by avoiding some behaviors such as washing cars using pipes, bathing for hours and other behaviors.  Extinguishing fires when going on nature trips, to reduce the occurrence of fires that cover vast areas and lead to their loss.  Reducing the use of chemical cleaners, toxic and harmful substances to the environment and the various creatures in it. Increasing the consumption of solar energy, especially in solar heaters, thus reducing dependence on electricity and rationalizing its consumption.  Keeping waste and excreta from the soil, in order to avoid soil pollution and its unsuitability for human consumption, agriculture, etc.  Community awareness through the various state institutions in addition to the role of various media plays an important role in urging the preservation of the environment from damage and problems in a way that makes people part of a clean environment, and the role of the school and university in planting positive ideas about nature in the hearts of its students is evident.  This results in a responsible generation able to drive and enjoy nature without harming it.

One way I live interdependently with nature is by recycling and composting. I know plastics can create devastating results in our oceans and every bottle recycled helps lower that effect. I like to compost to not add as much trash to trash dumps which are overtaking our earth and also helps to reduce our carbon footprint. I also love to donate old clothes that I do not use or fit in anymore and I love to go to thrift stores because the making of clothes also emits a lot of carbon into our environment so it is another great way to reduce our carbon footprint.

I try my best to do my part in reducing, reusing and recycling because I know how important it is for the future of the environment. I do little things like recycle and compost. I reuse some compost in my plant soil. Ever since I was younger I would get clothes at thrift stores and donate. One way I like to help the environment is by donating my clothes. This helps reduce waste, reduces the carbon footprint because there are less factories manufacturing products, it saves water and I help my community because people are able to buy clothes and used clothes are usually cheaper than new ones. .

Even before the pandemic, I knew how some of my actions affected nature. If I threw garbage onto the side instead of the garbage bin, some animal might get hurt by it or it might hurt the nature that I threw it in. And with the pandemic, I've been trying to do the best I could to help the environment by throwing things away in their appropriate bins and helping others with that as well.
For the community, I support local business who are environment friendly. If I support one that have bad practices for the environment, I'm in a way, helping to hurt the Earth. I want to help those who are doing their best to caring for Earth.

Before I have never really thought of the importance nature had on me. It was one of those things that I took for granted. So from watching the videos about how we humans are destroying our own home, Earth, I tried my best to donate to organizations that helps to fix the problems we are creating on Earth. I also started to appreciate nature more by going exploring and just taking in the scenery rather than using my phone the whole day. I hope to one day be able to own a house and build a garden in it because I have grown quite an interest in flowers and plants and many of us know how many benefits it has to having a garden.

As I have grown older I have really started to observe my surroundings a lot more, especially within nature. Just the other night when I was on break at work I found myself staring into the moon and the stars. I try to be more aware of the animals around me. One thing that is really interesting to me is to stare out into the ocean and comprehend just how large the ocean truly is. As far as the eye can see it feels as if it is endless. These little things for me are something I have started to appreciate in my older life.

# data[].attributes.body
I've never been the type of person to want to explore nature or experience the beauty of it. I've been a true "city kid" for most of my life, and though I appreciated nature and knew the importance of it, I always preferred to go to the mall with friends instead of going out on a hike or visiting a large garden. Ever since the pandemic started, I've been hiking more and taking in the beauty of the world around me more. When I breathe in the fresh air from the outside, I feel more fulfilled knowing I'm connecting to the world that isn't on my phone.

I live interdependently by starting my own garden in my backyard. Not only is it good for the environment, but I also feel a sense of pride using the food I grow for the food that I eat. Alongside this, I am also aware of the impact that garbage has on the environment so I throw things away in their appropriate bins wherever I am. For the community, I donate what I can for others in need and help neighbors with their garbage since they're at an age where my aid helps them out a lot.

Living Interdependently In the Community

During the pandemic, I would say that I live interdependently by being concious of my impact on the environment. For example, I try my best not to lidder when throwing out the trash. In addition, I always make sure to throw items away in the appropriate bins, which is soomething that I used to not do on a regular basis. Finally, I make sure to take time to appreciate the nature around my house.

# data[].attributes.body
I live interdependently with nature by owning a garden, and taking care of that garden knowing that other organisms come in and flourish off of the plants that I maintain. This keeps me grounded and humbled, knowing I am merely a part of an ecosystem. One way that I love interdependently with my community is by volunteering. Before the pandemic I was really into aiding workshops and groups whom may have needed the extra hand. I also tend to spread seeds that trees might drop around the streets.

# data[].attributes.body
I live interdependently with nature through policy advocacy. DSA and the chapter that I am a part of are fighting hard to preserve natural resources, stop capitalists from ransacking indigenous lands, and fight for the decarbonization of the economy. I live interdependently with my community by supporting worker-owned firms and businesses that use ethical practices. I know those aren't always options, but I will take advantage of an opportunity when I see it.

# data[].attributes.body
The way I live interdependently with nature is recycling, I don't litter and really try to clean up around my home anytime I see litter on the streets. I have reusable water bottles, lunch boxes for my kids to limit plastic, bring my own bags to shop
and try to live waste free. I also work hard to reuse items like glass jars and packaging. With my community, I like to shop local and I also like to contribute to donations. Clothing for example, I like to thrift or donate to thrift instead of letting clothes go to the trash.

 Interdependence With Others and the Environment

# data[].attributes.body
All species rely on others in some way for survival such as food and shelter. A way that I live interdependently with my community is to follow the three "R's" which stands for reduce, reuse, and recycle. This allows for the conservation of natural resources and landfill space. Recycling is incredibly important because it also reduces air and water pollution. The amount of harmful chemicals as well as greenhouse gases can be lessened if recycling becomes a daily practice.

# data[].attributes.body
A way that I live interdependently with nature is attempting to save resources where I can manage. I try to use as little water as possible when showering, recycling as much as possible, using reusable water bottles and bags, and practices like that. Also, it is important to stay informed about the environment and ways one can help by reading articles such as the Living Planet Report. Within my community, I clean up trash in my local park and nearby streets so that we can all appreciate a better environment. One could also check the local community’s online forum, if it has one, and see if there are any volunteering opportunities to directly help out your own community.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a great respect for nature. I understand that we have to give to the earth more than we take. Finding beauty in nature and an appreciation helps gain respect for it. Doing simple things such as recycling helps. Cleaning up neighborhoods with debris or trash. Also staying informed is important.

# data[].attributes.body
One way I would live interdependently with nature and the community is to be happy that we all live in this Earth and we need nature in order for us to survive. We need nature or us to survive because that's where the oxygen comes from and we should be leaving it alone and also for our community, we just can't throw anything in the trash and have more waste. Everywhere, there should be a recycle, glass and a trash bin and also for the oceans, the trash ended up being there because of laziness and there are only a few people that can help clean the oceans, everyone should be doing their part by not take it personally and also it's recommended to volunteer about the environment if they have nothing to do at home.

# data[].attributes.body
One way I live interdependently with nature is by being mindful of the resources I use and trying to not be so wasteful. For example, by recycling and reusing what I can. We wouldn't be here without nature so I think it's important not to take it for granted. When it comes to my community, I live interdependently within it by shopping at small local businesses so that I am putting my money right back into the community.

# data[].attributes.body
We need nature in our lives. We thrive off of what nature has to offer. These include oxygen, water, shelter and food. All of these examples show that we cannot function independently without nature or else we will go extinct. I live interdependently with my community by always volunteering. This purpose is to support others who need it and give back to the community I live in.

# data[].attributes.body
Everything we consume has been derived from what nature has availed to us. People often forget about the fact that Earth is a closed ecosystem in itself and resources are not endless. Given human consumption habits, we are depleting resources at a much higher rate than we are restoring them. We are not only interdependent on nature but also completely reliant. The same cannot be said for natures dependency on humans.

Humans cannot survive without nature. Thus, it is necessary to live interdependently with nature. I think one way that I live interdependently with nature is that I take care of the environment and trees. The trees also produce oxygen for me to breath. One way that I live interdependently with my community is that we have good relationships. We can rely on each other if anything good or bad happens.
