Planet Earth is a complex web of interrelated, living systems. Disrupting one affects others and so, conversely, fixing one can have positive effects elsewhere. The question is "which system should we focus on first?" As stated by author Charles Eisenstein in the quote above, we believe the first system to focus on is...Water. The first wave of content for Explorer At Large will therefore take a look at the water cycle—rivers, lakes, marshes, wetlands, etc.—and track its health and progress into the oceans. From there, we'll follow the water back up into the atmosphere on its journey to the mountains and forests, then to the soil and sand, and finally back to the rivers, lakes, and marshes. Along the way, we'll explore ecosystems and technologies to learn what can be done to mitigate polluting forces and improve ecological health.
In time, we will explore other strands of the web but to start—for our "first season" so to speak—we'll be focusing on water, looking at it through scientific and sacred lenses.
