I chose this picture because many people make understatements when it comes to plants. Our oxygen mainly comes from the photosynthesis they do for us. That is only one of many ways on how they daily help us. Some other ways to mention are: medicine, aliments, carbon dioxide storage, clean air, clean soil, prevent landslides... Basically I would encourage you to take care of your life provider, which is not YOU MAN!

It tells about the energy production due to the sunlight intake. Also, mentions about when the Chlorophyll takes in the Carbon Dioxide, mix it with water and by exposing it to sunlight produce their food and the oxygen for us to breath.

Duncan . Also, there are no other commonly used names for it. This plant is an angiosperm type. I consider interesting that we can only find it in two counties from the coastal plain of Georgia. Finally, this plant has been listed as an endangered type of since 1978.

I choose this one, because of the many trees that it includes. Humanity has been cutting down trees since ever, that many of our jungles and mangroves are no longer there. If we keep forgetting about their importance on earth, soon everything around us is going to be just a dessert.

It reminds us it's beginning, but then emphasized on how it has developed and  how everyday it also keeps improving. It also mentions about it's future and new creations on  the field.

GMO  (Genetically Manipulated Organisms) is a very important favor from the Green Revolution. It is what guides us into a new unstoppable world. One where we would not suffer anymore of hunger because we would be in control of the food production. Unfortunately everything is not as perfect as we wished. Besides the good of innovation, are the odds of a new project on a development face.

I really enjoy its presenter. Also it will talk to us in more detail about these 4 chemicals derived from plants, and the way they are been use to treat health issues.

Atropine / Deadly NIghtshade: Could be use as a sedant, dilatator, or even an antidote.

Artemisinin / Sweet Wormwood Plant: Used against Malaria.

Metformin / Goat's Rue Or Prefessor Weed: Used to treat diabetes type 2.

Calanolide A / Rosy Periwinkle:: Help to treat Cancer patients.

This group of firms keep working daily to improve it, and provide us the best. If eventually sustainability went unchecked, and people got to be even more unconscious that we currently are, we would live in a so much more polluted world than it already is. Is necessary to realize the importance of our environment and create awareness on how to take care of it.
