Nature is Talking, and We're Not Listening

If I understand ecocriticism correctly, then it is about how nature is portrayed in literature/media, how it's used as a setting, a plot device, what have you, and even about bringing attention to the environment that surrounds us. We as humans don't pay enough attention to nature, and, as was mentioned on Wednesday, it's trying to tell us something. Every time we don't listen, and every time nature gets angrier. Something that comes to mind when thinking about how humans as a whole disregard nature and their impact on it is the movie Wall-E. Hopefully, we all know the story behind Wall-E. Humans trashed their planet to the point that they could no longer live on it, and were forced to move into space. They left behind only robots to clean up their trash, and periodically sent drones down to see if the planet has become habitable yet. A lot happens between that idea and the end of the movie, but you get the gist. It's very blatantly saying that if we don't respect the planet, at some point there won't be a planet left to live on.

Don't let the planet get to the point that this tiny, tiny plant is a beyond-rare find.
