people & everything else

When I look at the lake I feel ____.
The water has the color _____ on a sunny day.

Look at the lake and wait. Feelings are temporary, nature is, human beings are. What can we do to nurture them and not just preserve for our own needs. Nature is a living organism, as we are. And we have to adapt the way we deal with it if we want to maintain it. Because the water would be fine without you. It's as simple as that. Are well-intentioned decisions made in the past still right today? Or is it rather the case that we need a renewed debate ?

*In 1964, the city of Annecy decided to stop the wastewater flow into the lake. Today, Lake Annecy is considered the clearest lake in Europe, but its biodiversity is steadily declining due to the lack of nutrients for aquatic organisms.
