3.3 Tailor-made for us

It took our ecosystem 4.6 billion years to become what it is today: the perfect living environment for us. A habitat for humans, so to speak. It is a highly complex and adaptive system with countless interdependencies. The natural cycles run like clockwork, perfectly balanced. Everything that lives, grows, and flourishes today is perfectly attuned to the conditions in this closed system.

How everything is related to everything else

Here’s a video to inspire you about the unique interdependencies in our ecosystem. Change one thing, and you change everything.
