1.1 Read About a Sense of Place
1.1G The Networked Beauty of Forests
Imagine if the natural beauty we've been reading and hearing about was destroyed?
Today, global warming and climate change are HUGE issues. Deforestation causes more greenhouse gas emissions than all trains, planes and automobiles combined. What can we do to change this contributor to global warming? In "The Networked Beauty of Forests", Suzanne Simard describes to students how the complex networks of our forests mimic our own neural and social networks -- and how those connections might make all the difference. As you view, pay attention to how Simard uses emotional appeals to show how much she cares about the forests and how she compares forests to both neural (brain networks) and social networks to show how everything is connected.
