Nature is sacred.

30-Day Challenge #1: TED Talks
Day 9

On a daily basis we recognize the fact that we need food to live, that we need water to live. We know that we need to breathe to live, but do we ever really think much about the air we breathe. Pollination is essential to our lives because without it our air does not have its oxygen replenished. We don't ever walk around and think 'I'm glad the pollinators are working hard so I can breathe.' It's something that we just take for granted. So in this TED talk that I'm sharing today we can take a few moments to stop taking pollination for granted. Louie Schwartzberg talks briefly about the importance of pollination, but more importantly he shows us the beauty of it with images from his film "Wings of Life". These clips allow us to see pollination in a way we can't see it everyday. Pollinators are vanishing from our planet because they're threatened by mankind, and yet we need them so that we can live. We should take a little more time to appreciate what they do for us.

Enjoy, and remember to acknowledge the beauty in the life around us.
