Regardless of the benefits of today’s city life, there are times when we wish to take a step back and slow down. When we slow down and look around, we can easily find relaxation in nature. Nothing surpasses the sensation of grass brushing your feet as you walk, hearing ocean waves crashing at the shore, or even seeing an array of stars in a beautiful night sky. Though it may be challenging to enjoy all these things in today’s fast-paced world, we can appreciate the beauty of nature in the little things of every day. Be it appreciating the sunshine and the rain or making efforts to grow a basic Croton plant; there is so much to do.

Many environments may surround us, but all are encompassed in nature.
For World Environment Day, we’ve compiled a list of quotes that relate nature and the environment with our day-to-day life that will motivate and inspire you to appreciate them more than ever. (Or, at the very least, offer some suggestions for Social Media captions!)
