Interdependence

Interdependence. What does it mean? John Muir explains, “”When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.”

As we keep learning in Fresno, a negative act can trigger a cycle of deterioration. Research shows that if you don’t fix broken windows, clean up litter, or erase graffiti, decay in a neighborhood will speed up.

The good news is positive acts have the same spiraling impact. In nature, a trophic cascade occurs when a top predator is restored to an ecosystem. While it can seem counter-intuitive, nature has a wisdom beyond our comprehension. Watch what happens when wolves are returned to Yellowstone: How Wolves Can Change a River
