Our Harm to the Planet is reversible

The movies watched during this event made me realize things that I did not notice before and provided a sense of hope. The film was a documentary that dove into the various species that exist within a particular rainforest and how these organisms depend on their surroundings and each other for survival. There was a particular scene where a particular type of plant would depend solely on the rainfall to hit against its leaves and cause ants to fall into it, essentially serving as the plant’s food. This made me realize that with climate change becoming more severe as the years progress, the changes in climate could completely diminish this plant’s source of food. However in the second movie watched, towards the end there was a scene where the narrator explains that if we leave nature alone, it could reclaim areas that we have once taken over and polluted. This gave me hope in the sense that despite all the damage we have done to the Earth, it can still heal if we give it time.
