Insights
We may think that as a species, humans have risen above plants, but the truth is that we couldn’t live a day without them. They give us the air that we breathe, we need them for nutritious fuel, they moderate the climate and across history we have used plants to store knowledge, to heal, to change our state of consciousness and to indicate our status.
