We can’t see wind, only the things it moves. Likewise, we can’t hear wind unless it’s flowing past something that makes it vibrate; this causes it to adopt various sonic guises depending on what it interacts with. Trees provide some of the most common and admired ways for wind to make itself heard. This sound has been termed psithurism (sith-err-iz-um).
The naturalist author and founding member of the RSPB, W.H. Hudson, suggests in Birds and Man (1901), that psithurism is salubrious. He describes the sound of wind in the trees as “very restorative” – a mysterious voice which the forest speaks to us, and that to lie or sit thus for an hour at a time listening to the wind is an experience worth going far to seek.
The sonic qualities of psithurism seem to smudge the border between music and noise. The American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) described the sound in “A Day of Sunshine”:
“I hear the wind among the trees
Playing celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,
Like keys of some great instrument.
In the meadow, cattle graze,
Wind gently passing, a peaceful daze,
Tall grasses sway, wildflowers bloom,
Nature's symphony, a perfect tune.
The cattle roam, with carefree might,
Their presence felt, in morning light,
A scene of beauty, a pastoral dream,
The meadow, a tranquil stream.
The wind picks up, the grasses dance,
The cattle graze, with a rhythmic prance,
In the meadow, time stands still,
Nature's magic, a soothing thrill.
Oh, meadow, you are a haven of peace,
A place of calm, where worries cease,
May you thrive, for all to see,
A precious gift, for you and me.
Pristine nature refers to natural environments that are in their original, undisturbed state, free from human influence and development. These environments may include untouched forests, unspoiled beaches, clear waterways, and other natural habitats that have not been impacted by human activity.
Pristine nature is important because it supports biodiversity and provides critical ecosystem services, such as clean air, water, and soil. These natural environments also have significant cultural and aesthetic value, providing opportunities for outdoor recreation, tourism, and scientific research.
Unfortunately, pristine nature is becoming increasingly rare due to human activity, including habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. It is important that we take steps to protect and conserve these environments for future generations to enjoy and benefit from. This may involve creating protected areas, reducing our carbon footprint, and supporting sustainable practices that minimize harm to the natural world.

Landscape are fascinating not only they are top models, they could also expand in our mind and be regenerated by our vision skills.
Big Sur is a rugged and mountainous section of the Central Coast of California between Carmel Highlands and San Simeon, where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. It is frequently praised for its dramatic scenery. Big Sur has been called the "longest and most scenic stretch of undeveloped coastline in the contiguous United States," a sublime "national treasure that demands extraordinary procedures to protect it from development" and "one of the most beautiful coastlines anywhere in the world, an isolated stretch of road, mythic in reputation." The stunning views, redwood forests, hiking, beaches, and other recreational opportunities have made Big Sur a popular destination for about 7 million people who live within a day's drive and visitors from across the world. It is among the top 35 tourist destinations world-wide. The region receives about the same number of visitors as Yosemite National Park, but offers only limited bus service, few restrooms, and a narrow two-lane highway along the coast. North-bound traffic during the peak summer season and holiday weekends is often backed up for about 20 miles (32 km) from Big Sur Village to Carmel.
Hawaiian sunset peeping from the sea
Smiles and says Aloha to his sweetheart Hawaii
The drowsy islands slumber one by one
Close their sleepy eyelids say goodnight to the sun
#Peace and #love

"Public transportation is more than just a way to move people around. It's a vehicle for opportunity, equity, and a better quality of life."
Expansive and serene, this image captures the rebirth of a once-drained peatland now restored to its natural hydrology. Rewetted peatlands like this play a vital role in climate protection, carbon storage, and biodiversity recovery. Pine trees frame the scene, while the mirrored sky and scattered wetland islands convey a sense of balance and renewal.
A simple sign, a difficult action indeed. Truth, science; action. All these things are being endlessly debated. Unfortunately it's the time for action that hurts! Climate Justice Rally at the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia on Saturday.
Happy Earth Day, everyone! 🌍
Let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of our planet and renew our commitment to protecting it. This stunning photo of a pink rosebud emerging at golden hour reminds us of the beauty and resilience of nature.
As we face the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, let's remember that every small action counts. From reducing our carbon footprint to supporting local conservation efforts, we can all make a difference.
Together, we can create a more sustainable, just world for future generations. 🌸🌿

Choose Action Now is the youth’s response to failed negotiations and 27 years of delay on substantial climate action by world leaders. Through the collective power of our movement, we will demonstrate that youth leaders CAN be the change we want to see in the world, regardless of the outcomes of the negotiations at COP27.
We are coming together to confront the systems that sacrifice our lives for a profit, be that climate destroying fossil fuel companies, or those that profit from and promote militarism and war. In the middle of war around the world and violence on our streets, we are gathering to celebrate our community and each other – to show that we are not disposable and that young people and the planet must be protected from all forms of violence.
We know that the military is the largest emitter of greenhouse gasses in the world and is exempted from following climate protections just as police are offered qualified immunity for their actions. Just as military expansion sacrifices the lives of youth of color through military recruitment, and of communities around the world through militarization and violence, it is also waging a war against our planet.

Axios reporter Amy Harder moderates a keynote conversation with Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL), who chairs the newly created House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.
Climate change has reemerged as a top priority on Capitol Hill — and the conversation has matured from whether to take action to how.

We trust in science. Global warming is no fiction.
Respect to all the young and old climate marchers.
There are many haters of the current #youthforclimate movement on the social media.. and those haters are usually the 1st ones to complain about the heatwaves, floodings, storm winds, drought, monsoonlike rain, extreme weather, dirty beaches and all the other examples of the changing climate and the environmental degradation.
Humanity is responsible for both so humanity should work towards solutions and the young are the engine of change.
