What's it about?

Nature & the Environment
Our behavior towards nature has a great impact on climate change. With time and evolution, we've grown more detached from nature and as a result, don't fully comprehend how much damage we've caused—and continue to cause. In these Blinks and Shortcast episodes you’ll learn about our disintegrating relationship with nature, the repercussions of being disconnected from nature, and why we need to rebuild this relationship. Discover the benefits nurturing mother nature could bring to both sides, and get inspired by entrepreneurs and everyday people who are rebuilding these crucial bonds.
