One picture of a community builds up step by step: water comes from a lake, wood from a forest and food from a farm with carrots and apples, each shown with an arrow, a word and a picture. Then the community cares for nature by looking after parks, picking trash out of the lake to keep the water clean, and recycling cans, bottles and paper, ending on the recap "We use nature and care for it".
