David Suzuki speaks!

For Suzuki, interconnectedness means that every people have consequences because they are all connected to nature and the environment they have to act in the right way with nature. In the past, humans performed rituals to prove that they were responsible for taking care of the environment. The media have to explain how things happen this way. They broadcast their information by internet, radio, newspaper and television. Humans are a super species. Four properties make it possible: they are the most numerous mammals on earth, they have powerful technology, they are hyper consumers and they have created their own habitat. We are the environment. Humans are made of four sacred elements: air, water, earth and fire. First of all, the air that we breathe connects all creatures to the past and the future. The air is created by photosynthesis. Secondly, we are water because 60% of our bodies is made up of water. Thirdly, the soil keeps us alive because everything starts from molecules and dust which are made from decomposed matter. Finally, if humans didn’t have oxygen, they wouldn’t have fire. They are fire because of the burning calories in the human body.
