What is the Environment?
by Olivia Wang
This semester we have a special guest. Mr. Cheng from EQPF Taiwan. He came to our school to share with us many things about the environment. And I think what impresses me most is “What is the environment?” and “The relationship between people and the environment”.
First, “What is the environment?” In the definition of law, the environment is the factor that will affect and be affected by people, but Mr. Zheng divides the environment into three categories, which are nature (animals, plants, Water…), man made (architecture, city, law…), and humanity (historical sites, ruins, culture…).
In the environment, to form an ecosystem, it requires the combination of living things and non-living things. like stones, plants, animals… etc. In an ecosystem, each living thing and non-living things have different roles and functions. like producers, consumers and decomposers, and when they are grouped together, they form a perpetual cycle.
Then, I think the relationship between man and nature is actually inseparable, because people need to rely on the resources that nature gives us, but not many people will seriously think about our relationship with nature. I personally thought that nature and us. It’s like the relationship between the producer and the consumer, but because people are different from other animals, people will create and change the environment to make the environment more comfortable for themselves, which leads to an imbalance of the ecosystem. So people should actually care about and pay attention to the environment more. Like why the apple tree suddenly can't bear fruit? Or why didn't the hen hatch the eggs? If we are willing to find the root of the problem, then we can improve and establish a harmonious relationship with the environment, so that our environment can continue to circulate.
In the end, I hope everyone can pay more attention to the environment, so that the environment can exist in this world for a longer time.
什麼是環境？

這學期我們有一個特別的客人:來自EQPF Taiwan的鄭老師，他來到我們的學校與我們分享了許多關於「環境」的事情，而我覺得對我最印象深刻的是「什麼是環境？」、「人與環境的關係」。
首先「什麼是環境？」，在法律的定義上， 環境就是會影響到人們，以及會被人影響的因素，不過鄭老師將環境大致歸分為三類，它們分別是自然(動物、植物、水……)、人為(建築、城市、法律……)、人文(古蹟、遺址、文化……)。
在環境中，要形成一個生態系，需要生物以及非生物的結合，像是石頭、植物、動物……等等，在一個生態系中，每個生物及非生物都會有不同的角色和功能，像是生產者、消耗者和分解者，而當他們組在一起時，就會形成一個永續的循環。
再來，我認為人與自然的關係其實是密不可分的，因為人們需要仰賴自然所提供給我們的資源，但卻很少人會去認真地思考我們與自然的關係，我個人認為自然與我們就是生產者和消費者的關係，但是因為人們有別於其它動物，人們會創造和改變環境來為自己提供更加舒適的環境，所以導致生態系失衡，因此人們其實更應該去關心、注意環境怎麼了，像是為什麼蘋果樹突然結不出果子？或是母雞為什麼不孵蛋了？只要我們願意付出行動去找到問題的根源，那我們就可以從而改善，並和環境建立和諧的關係，讓我們的環境繼續循環下去。
最後，希望大家都能更多的去關注自己所生活的這片環境，讓他能更長久的存在於這個世上。
