Month: April 2016

action

Welcome !

From May 2013 to April 2016, several articles about the environmental issue were presented in Maple’s former website. A total of 36 have been published in the “To the Future Nature” section, along with photos and drawings.

In May 2016, the section content started to be published in this blog, “Natura Futura”, providing more interaction with the readers.

This name, which means future nature in the italian language, has been chose due to its sonority. Our proposal is global, and aims the participation of different cultures. See how the word nature is written in other languages:

naturaleza (spanish)

natureza (portuguese)

natura (italian)

natur (german)

The word looks long in spanish and it shortens gradually until it becomes “Natur”, in german. This fact might suggest diminishing green areas in our planet, who knows. But to envision the environmental situation in this way is like seeing a half glass of water as half empty.

The “Natura Futura” proposal is to build a better future, where the green areas will spread again. Is like seeing a half glass of water and say, with optimism, that it is half full. As a comparison, we could envision the word nature starting short and getting long until it becomes “Naturaleza”:

natur (german)

natura (italian)

natureza (portuguese)

naturaleza (spanish)

In the same way the human action shaped the natural environment in which we live today, it could transform it again, creating an environment more suitable to the nature in the future.

Follow and help us to put this initiative to work !

The thirtieth:

Time to remember

In May 2013 the following drawing has been published, with an explanation about the reproduction of the Chlorophyte,  a plant native from Africa:

e

Chlorophytum comosum

Nobody shows its happiness to be alive better than this plant, the Chlorophyte:

  1. When adult, stretches out a long arm
  2. On its tip, a new plant comes out, smaller however
  3. The new plant grows and, by becoming heavier, touches the ground
  4. The roots that where once hanging on air, now get firmly attached to the earth
  5. The new plant decouples from the old one and the cycle restarts

Celebrate life, take good care of Nature every day !
