Symbiotic Connections
A short documentary on the symbiotic relationships all around us. The natural world is so essential for our well-being. Without a plethora of amazing creatures and plants, we would have no medicine, food, or other vital resources. Unfortunately, mass consumption and pollution are devastating the earth. Billions of animals have been killed or displaced from recent wildfires. Our coral reefs are getting bleached at unprecedented rates, As average global temperatures continue to rise weather patterns will become more erratic. Luckily, every one of us has the capacity to make a meaningful difference. Investing in renewable energy sources can help mitigate harm to nearby areas. Supporting reforestation nonprofits helps proliferate forests. Even small choices like recycling or caring for plants help in the long run. Using the earth as our guide we can learn how to coexist with nature in a nonexploitative manner.
