What dandelions and bees can teach us about our responsibilities to the natural world

In an early childhood program, everyday encounters remind participants that acknowledging land is something we live through relationships and responsibilities.

As children debate whether a dandelion, stick or snail shell could or should leave the forest (and sometimes choose to return what they have taken), they are learning how to be in a reciprocal relationship with the natural world.

Based on the title alone - pretty sure most of us are somewhat like bees. Work til we die, no retirement. At least a bee-timeline would be shorter, and the work would help our fellow life forms rather than destroy them and their environments (I’d hope that’s what the article is about, gotta get to my planet killing job tho).
