Earth Principles; The Web of Life

Some of us will recall first learning about the web of life in school, of how all living and non-living things are connected through a complex food system for survival. All life forms in the ecosystem depend on all other living and non-living things for food, nutrients and energy. Environmental systems are complex, interlinked and interdependent. The same is true of human systems, whether neural, social, political or economic! In this course, we will examine and apply a systems approach to understand the past and present and move us toward a future rooted in justice and community that we all build together.
