Frage über Englisch (US)
I know that the verb 'blow away' is used in the United States to say that someone has been killed. Can I use this verb to say that the nature has been destroyed by the humankind? For instance, it's correct to say the nature has been blown away by the humankind?

@giuemax Almost correct. You don’t need “the” because nature and humankind can stand for themselves like people’s names, unless you write “by the technological advancements of humankind” something like that. Other verbs: annihilated, devastated, swept away, wiped off from the map.
