Improving Environment By Changing The World: Gaian Wonders of the Co-Evolutionary Dance

Who needs TV when the waves at the beach are phosphorescing, the fungal internet is pulsing, and the laws of physics are being broken all around us by...water? These Bioneers celebrate the wonders of nature they encounter in their work for the Earth and explore, among other things, "the ocean eye" and variations on a nematode worm.

The Bioneers series consists of three sets of 13 programs each:

Bioneers Series I: The Bioneers: Revolution From the Heart of Nature
Bioneers Series II "Improving Environment By Changing The World
Bioneers Series III 

Inspired by the philosophies of the Deep Ecology movement, the Bioneers are heroic examples of people living as if nature mattered. Join us as we look deeply into the magic and mystery of the convergence between leading-edge science and ancient wisdom for a Declaration of Interdependence for the new millennium. Though these programs were produced in the 1990s the contents of this series are timelessly relevant.
