City Bountiful, Comments-
This section talks about gardens and how they have been implemented in various ways in our society. Gardens are important in every society. After all, we all depend on various types of grains, seeds, fruits, and other types of natural foods. Where does bread and other types of pasta come from? Gardens also provide food for animals such as cows, which produce milk. These are just a few among many examples why gardens are indispensable in society. Gardens, the natural food producers, are not to be taken for granted, just because today civilization has its benefits. Gardens also provide natural medicines for various types of serious or not so serious illnesses….God’s pharmacy? And for those who love to cook.......gardens is a MUST! Whether gardens helps humanity directly or indirectly, they must be present in as many places as possible. That is why I like the Central Park in NYC, because in the middle of civilization, there is a giant garden which is respected. Cornell is another example of a big garden in the midst of an intellectual paradise.

Nature and the City Comments, Comments-
This section deals with the battle between civilization and nature. It seems that sometimes, one or the other has to prevail. However, why not live together in harmony? I guess it is not that simple! It is a matter of space….while some people want to construct buildings, others want to continue appreciating the trees in that same spot.
This reading deals with the change our society is going through….a green revolution. I consider that today, people are more aware and conscious about the destruction of planet Earth. If we humans don’t act fast, we will destroy ourselves. If we as a civilization and society cannot come up with an alternative to live in harmony with nature, it seems that a choice will have to be made between a planet to live in, or technology and its benefits. This statement sounds dramatic, but it has its realistic side as well. Think about it. It’s time to act not as individuals, but instead, as a conscious, concerned, and responsible society.
