In these times, it must feel like it is nearing the end of the world. We are all stuck in our homes (I hope) trying to stay safe from the coronavirus. Life has changed dramatically. It may seem just like the end of the world to some people.

With all this negativity surrounding us, it may be hard to look on the positive side. However, no matter how bad things become, there is always a positive.

The effect that humans have on the environment is truly showing. As more of us stay at our homes during the pandemic, the Earth has been healing. The pollution from factories in China is decreasing; the canals in Venice are clear again, and the ozone is healing itself.

Some people do not believe we have an effect  on this planet, but we have shown exactly what happens when we remove ourselves from the world. I only hope that once the pandemic is over and people emerge from their homes that we realize the effect we have on our planet and become more mindful of preserving it.
