suzuki speaks part 1


Today, people don’t really care about the environment. This is sad because our descendants will suffer of that, because everything is interconnected. There is a lot of evidence that proves it.

Interconnectedness explains the connection of everything in the world. In fact everything we do has consequences on person’s lives. In other words every side of people is in link to something else. For example, when someone dies we bury him or her in the earth and his or her body decomposes. All his or her molecules will be absorbed by plants. Animals will eat those plants and will in turn absorb the molecules. Then humans will consume the animals and the molecules which were in the dead person will be absorbed by humans. Because of that, people should understand that molecules accomplish a cycle everywhere in the world. Earth, air, water and fire also form a cycle. Those are the four elements which compose our environment.

In the past people had the conviction that they were able to stay interconnected to nature with the songs the prayers and the rituals they had. Today, the way to understand how everything is connected is toward the media. The media give us information about what is going on in the world but people only get a small part of the information. Because the information is in fragments, people don’t always see the real relationship between nature and humans.

Furthermore, because humans are able to change the physical characteristics of the earth, the humans consider themselves that they are a "superspecies". It can be explained by the fact that they can do things that nobody else can do. For example, people can create their own habitat, because they have powerful technology. Also, people are supposed to be connected to the earth and also to the water, the fire and the air but they destroy that link. Humans are surrounding by nature. People are also part of nature, because they are constituted of the same molecules that are in the water and the air. The fire is like all the energy accumulated in humans. This energy comes from the sun.
