Everything is Connected!
Each individual is a gear in a societal machine, a machine which is a mechanism in even larger systems which connect together to form the ecosystem of our planet. One of the most important tenants of sustainability is the law of interconnectedness, where we recognize that one system cannot be changed or destroyed without altering another. Environmental issues are not just the concern of animals and trees; humanity is directly connected to the rest of the natural world, and the destruction of the planet's natural cycles will eventually come back to us.
