Steps to - Get in touch with nature

1.Recycle what you have in the closet...   
Go through your closet and try finding pieces that represent nature as if you were it. There is no need to go to expensive stores. Try looking for bracelets and necklaces made from rocks, minerals, and other earth elements. Prefer muted clothes in tones of browns, greens, blues and red Earth colors.
2.Start a nature journal... 
You can buy a simple notebook,or a fancy one. Then just go outside and draw the nature that you see. A really cool thing to do is to get an envelope and glue it or tape it to one of the pages to your notebook, then go outside and collect samples of maybe flower petals, or dried leaves. That's up to you.

3.Find some seeds to plant in your yard... 
If you want to bring some nature indoors, ask the people who work in a garden store what plants can be kept indoors. Ask your neighbors what plants they are growing and if you can take cuttings to strike in your garden.

4.Talk to your friends about nature... 
Instead of talking to them about makeup and skinny jeans, talk to them about your pet, or just the environment.

5.Do some research... 
Record all of the information you find in your nature journal. Maybe print out a couple of pictures, but not too many though because remember we are trying to help the environment here! Consider cutting images out of magazines that nobody wants to read anymore; that way you will be reusing too.

6.Buy stuffed animals to decorate your room... 
Good choices include gorillas, chimpanzees, elephants, monkeys, cheetahs, tigers, whales, pandas. Then display them in your room. You are bringing attention to animals that are endangered in a fun, persuasive and lively way.
