We Are Nature

We can reprogram ourselves to think that “we are the environment & the world is one biological process. The trees are our lungs…when we destroy our environment we are effectively destroying ourselves… When we are slashing & burning all of these forests, imagine taking out one of your lungs, how hard it is to breathe. Destroying our waterways and river systems, imagine if our cardiovascular systems were carrying nothing but chemicals & waste into our organs. Guess what, we would literally start to shut down. That’s what we are doing to our world.” -Ian Somerhalder at Penshoppe press conference in Manila.
