Answer 1

Good morning to one and all

I firmly feel that beauty is a source of inspiration and delight after reading both poems. However, there is a responsibility associated with this beauty; it is not just for our admiration. It is our responsibility as stewards of this world to safeguard the natural treasures that are all around us.
The urgent need to preserve nature goes beyond environmentalists' concerns; it is essential to our survival. The food we need to survive, the water we drink, and the air we breathe are all provided by nature. Let's recognise the intrinsic value of nature and draw inspiration from Keats and Neruda's writings. We ensure that future generations will inherit a legacy of richness and beauty by protecting nature.

To sum up, let's resolve to take responsible care of the environment. Let's make a concerted effort to preserve the delicate balance of nature. This is a priceless legacy we owe to ourselves, our offspring, and future generations—it's not just a duty.
