CONNECTING GLOBAL ISSUES

While issues affecting nature and people can seem geographically, economically, and societally disconnected, they are often deeply interwoven and interdependent. Oil drilling miles beneath the surface of the earth contributes to greenhouse gas accumulation in the atmosphere; clear-cutting in the Amazon rainforest influences business decisions made in boardrooms thousands of miles away.
