Title

Plants have a power!

Humans have always been eating plants, but not many people know the real powers plants have! A big part of their wealth lies in the vitamins and essential oils they produce. They also contain many active molecules that we, as humans, have been using for medical purposes. In that sense, nature is a huge source of knowledge. In order to properly use nature we need to carefully study it to finely understand its true essence. Technologies based on lack of knowledge lead us to over-exploitation, deforestation, forest fires, and more generally to global warming that is changing ecosystems. We are dangerously close to losing some of the knowledge nature can give us. That's why we have developed a heightened sense of interest in it.
