The Natural World

The natural world is a huge part of our environment.

It may seem like we live entirely in a man-made world. Cities, towns, homes, schools, cars, roads, and computers are all made by man. But the natural world is all around us, all the time. The earth is under those cities and towns. We breathe the air and drink the water that come from the natural world. The sun sends light and heat to the whole planet.
