We love nature, but what are we doing for it? Everyday life and customs

is it enough to love ?

I think it's enough to love, because if we realy love, we act.
When I was younger, I went several times to a ZAD (Zone À Défendre, which mins "zone to defend). A ZAD is usually in a a forest, and is created when a big society wants to destroy it to build airports, supermarckets or amusement theme parks. Zadists block the construction site and build huts and wooden baricades.
But the multinationals are not the only ones to illtreat Pacha Mama. One day, when I was in Grenoble, I went to a party and a girl broke a bottle on the floor. I told her off, but she answered she created jobs for cleaners. Later, before I leaved the city, I tried to help a homeless young lady. Several times, we went in a park. She always snatched my ampty glasses, cans or cigarette butts from my hands to through them on the floor, telling me everyone does it and people are paid to clean the park up.
Now, I live in Lyon (my personal informations are obsolete because I didn't come back on Penpal Gate since I left high school and I didn't ubdate my profile yet) and when the weather is good, I love going on the banks of the Rhone. But at night, drunk people through their waists in the water.
A friend of mine had a project before the new confinement. She'd like taking a few mates to fish metal objects with a magnet in the Rhone and the Saone. I offered her to participate.

No, it is not enough at all. We must also respect for the nature and consider the fact nature is not our servant but serving the nature is our future. Therefore I like the old Native Indian proverb telling that "Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children."

In my opinion for this planet its too late. This boat is going to sink and we are on it. But we don't have to destroy other planets, I think. We all die on the Earth and only Earth be destroyed.

So young and so pessimistic. Don't lose hope lad. Because if you do so, and if everyone does like you, life will be lost indeed. If we know the end is near, we would not even try to avoid it.
A weak hope is still hope.
@Diogene's quest I steal think love is enough, because what you say ensues to love. Of course, we can respect without loving, but love means a bigger respect. Someone who realy love our mother will never missrespect her or enslave her.

I'm afraid to say that your words are in a chivalric romance. I wish it was the way as you said but in modern world, love is something protean, erratic, notional. I hear people telling that they love the nature but I saw none of them as replanting, collecting waste or even watering the plants. We are able to love our "easements" first. Bitter but yet a fact.

In that case, we can say love is enough, saying we love is not. Those people whom you're talking about told you they loved nature, but they loved only a picture or a concept, not nature itself. They maybe appreciate being in a country house, hearing little birds and looking flowers, but that's an erzatz of love. Love (for nature or anything/one else) is sometghing nearly metaphysic. So, I don't change my mind, I think it's just a matter of words. But I agree with you in a point : mankind lost the link with Gaya, so there are less people who love nature since a century.
I think I don't live in a romanced world, I'm just thinking about the importance of words. We often say we love something to extrapolate. I'm conscious of the darkness of this modern world, however, I still hope. It's a thing we always can do, because without hope, we can't act.
