As a Vancouverite, I’m proud of the nice weather and enjoyable nature my city has. However, I can really see the impacts of climate change on the city. The heat dome event, the intense wildfire season, followed by the floods caused by the atmospheric river, this year’s drought and delayed wildfire season, etc. From observing common management practises, I found people tend to have a mindset of controlling nature, including the natural processes that have been essential to regulating the Earth’s systems. I believe natural cycles are there because they have been working for billions of years, and humans could not work against them.
I envision a world where we see nature as a living, loving friend, but not a commodity to extract or a force to conquer. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and other environmental devastation happened b
