Every individual will have an instinct gene to love nature and plants. That encourages having greeneries around, that forces to show concerns for environment and ecology and that urges to look for safe and functional vegetables, fruits and so on. Sometimes, this gene gets masked by certain extraneous factors which need to be unmasked to draw everyone’s attention.
