Ecology.

Ecology is basically the study of how everything is related to everything else.

Did you know the word comes from the Greek oikos which means “house” + logy (study of). So, ecology is basically the study of the “house.”

I think that’s amazing.

Our world is one big house—everything (yes, everything) is RELATED to everything else just like a family living in a house.

Stunning.

How’s your house?
