I believe that we as humans should help conserve and let nature heal instead of destroying it. Nature has provided us with food, water, and so much more. We should repay it by just simply planting more trees and being more eco-friendly, not taking from it and destroying our environment. —Bryce Thomas, Teens Take On Climate
