About this ebook
Is there any difference between Mozart and rock music for a plant?
After all, we know that plants cannot hear. They can perceive and choose frequencies that we cannot detect without their hearing organs, and they prefer Mozart or chants to rock music. They can lengthen and shorten their bodies, reduce their density by drilling holes, and even change their genes with music. It knows the owner who gives it water, gets stressed, falls in love, and favors its brother. They are in our subconscious. They read our thoughts and manage the animal kingdom as they please. Plants have amazing abilities. In the world of plants, there are wars and relationships that we do not realize and witness.
The Aborigines, who are the protectors of the land and this planet, are preparing for the last day of the world or the first beginning by passing on their secrets, wisdom and culture from generation to generation.
Think again before you touch, cut or pluck them. You didn't create them and you don't have the right to experiment on them. Only you can help them survive.

On Behalf of Humanity, I Apologize to All Plants! - Demi Yalcin
CHAPTER I
On behalf of humanity, I apologize to all plants!
Can there be a difference, between Mozart and rock music for a plant? After all, we know that plants can not hear. They can perceive frequencies that we cannot understand, they can choose, and ultimately they prefer Mozart. Do we care? No, of course, we don't care! We are faced with the fact, that even an ordinary person, who is interested in these issues cares more about what his friend on Instagram does at all.
We care about animals, because, we see their pain and feel it in our hearts. It's too easy to ignore all plants. They seem lifeless and are not the dynamic, living, reflexive, shouting, greedy aspect of our world. For us, the plants are just ingredients for food, medicine and factories materials in the background. It is very easy to ignore that they are building an ecosystem from the bottom up by combining everything, we pollute with sunlight and water and turning them into delicious food, and prefer this miracle to ordinary events. The fact that we have fetishized our neurons and connected behavior only to the brain prevents us from seeing the truth about plants, we don’t appreciate them. On the other hand, of course, we let the plants live, because, they helped us to survive. When we hear that an animal's arms or legs are cut off, our blood freezes, but do we really feel the same pain when cutting plants?
It is indisputable, how attractive the environment of indoor plants will be. That's why, I think we actually grow plants just to watch. I also don't think that people who are selfish and have a very high ego, get bored very quickly with this creature, which they buy with money and never move. If there was a love of nature, would we ever burn whole forests for centuries? Unfortunately, we humans love to put ourselves at the center of the world and think that we own everything, thinking that we are arrogantly privileged and unique. By blending our intelligence, which we developed with animistic thought, with our human-centered approach, we have come to the point of seeking to replace God today. Unfortunately, we believe that it is a right given to us to kill everything in front of us, from the mosquito that lands in our ear, to the bee that perches on the flower, and to hammer nails into trees. There are people around who have become so unconscious that they say if we don't kill the bugs but they will eat us. As long as we choose to ignore nature and value only the brain and neurons, our self-destruction is inevitable. Do we love nature? We like to use it more than to love it. We want the flowers to bloom constantly, to multiply, to spread, and to keep our word, if possible. Let the trees give a lot of fruit every year, let's eat a lot. Growing vegetables is too strenuous, boring and even unnecessary for us. Let the farmers think about everything, but the vegetables should be both organic and cheap. Although our approach to nature is generally like this, we are also very sensitive to natural disasters. For days, the birds that died in the fire cry for the insects, we mourn for the trees that are destroyed. We've been sharing pictures of animals lost in floods for years. It is really impossible to understand us. While we are so compassionate and sincere towards the natural events that occur in nature, we are also so full of anger that we treat the plants in our house like slaves. We can never give the necessary value to the plants we buy. Millions of them die every day as a result of our negligence, we don't care at all, and we throw them away, when we get bored. Many plant lovers try the so-called recipes he learns from youtube every day on plants in case it works, and pour the water of the eggs of the beans he boils into the soil for food. As if we have severed our ties with nature, we feed ourselves very well and try to give the leftovers to the plants as if, there were no hungry people left in the world. We think that the wild nature, forests and trees we watch in documentaries are different from the indoor plants, we grow at home or the vegetables we buy at the market. While we have compassion for the wild nature, we think that the vegetables and fruits we eat every day are an inanimate species from another planet. We all know that the soils are constantly sprayed, that what we eat is hormonal foods, but we still do not care.
However, insects, bees, butterflies and worms living in the soil of this planet die by poisoning with the chemicals we spill on the soil every day, and birds suffer from atherosclerosis and heart attacks, and we do not mourn for these, but we weep for the koalas burned in forest fires. We don't mind that bird species, bees, butterflies and worms poisoned by the waste spilled on the ground are in danger of extinction at any moment, but we rebel for partridges and deer shot by hunters.
In one gram of soil, 5000 different bacteria are fighting for survival every second to get rid of our hands. Every day, we spray the soils before planting in order to get more products all over the world. Then we spray it again against insects and weeds. Then we spray again and again with chemicals so that the vegetables and fruits we will grow are more and more abundant. Since we have degraded the soil and nothing grows in that soil anymore, we spray it again. And then we spray the vegetables we planted against insects and weeds again. And then we deceive the vegetables and fruits that we pluck early, making them feel like they are still growing, and of course we spray them again so that they do not spoil on the way. If some of the vegetables and fruits that come to the market are to be left for a long time, they are again sprayed so that they do not rot or become worms. And every day, thousands of flower lovers pour the water and pulp of poisonous things, which are covered with these chemicals, to give more flowers to the flowers we grow. When did we humanity become so lost? We talk a lot every day about saving polluted seas, rivers, dolphins. But we have long passed the point of giving up technology, chemical fertilizers, mines
