Dear colleagues.

EXPLANATION OF THE THEME Humans and nature:
Man is a part of Nature. Nature is a part of man. Without nature, human life is impossible. The planet Earth is our home to all people and all living beings. If we disturb harmony in nature, we destroy each living being.
We are witnessing that man is increasingly disturbing and endangering the environment. The main reason for this is money.
Money has become everything to man. Is money more important than nature, clean air, forests, rivers, lakes and the sea? Quo vadis, homine? How to protect ourselves and the nature around us? How to save ourselves from diseases and pandemics? How to return to our mother - the blue planet - the Earth? The only planet that gave us all life conditions: natural beauty, food, water, air. Let's try to send messages and advise the humanity through caricature and humor, how to save our mother - the planet Earth!
