12 Podcast Interview Questions about Nature’s Ecological Succession by a Birch Tree

12 Podcast Interview Questions about Nature’s Ecological Succession by a Birch Tree  

“And when you don’t understand how webs connect; or how roots make leaves; or how the food web is many links that can’t be broken;  when you lack empathy for the most ordinary creature, the worm or the bee, you become disconnected and pay the price one way of another, too often with disorder and disease.” 

Excerpt from The Ecological Succession of Birchum Birch

I started writing about Birchum Birch 50 years ago and left the manuscript to vegetate in a dusty drawer. With all the problems on the Earth today, I thought it might be timely to bring it into the modern world. At first, it was a simple story about a tree and its caricature encounters. But now the story has evolved far deeper with fearsome feelings and holistic  hopes about a changing earth and society, about industry, commerce and virtual reality where nature’s co-operation must not be relegated to playing a distant secondary role.

I believe the time has never been more important to stop and admire a beautiful birch tree singing in the breeze because you have looked under his scarred bark to understand his personality from his roots’ tips to his leaves’ tips and the special relationship he shares with his world. 

You act kindly to friends, right? 

In fact, with greater study, the natural life force of a tree can relate to human conditions like responsibility to look after families, to support your community and protect your environment.  In fact, a talking tree can even teach lessons about the diversity of lifeforms from the smallest to the largest to each their unique purpose; how self-ego is only one strand that can negate the other affinities; how generosity and caring are the fabric of any community; how changes in the environment need transition times with tolerance; how weather is not just temperatures but the life channel to a healthy ecosystem; how consuming food webs are the right to life itself - contaminated or not;  how balance, recycling and connections are the global laws in Nature to be applied to every living plant, animal and human.

I look forward to any podcast interviews to discuss these important questions and other concerns about how we can give Nature a voice:  

1. What values do trees or forest offer other than lumber? Is deforestation necessary?
2. What is the value of Nature’s bio-systems from the value of a worm and a bee?
3. How would you summarize 3 main Nature’s Laws IF Nature wrote them down?
4. Why Nature doesn't produce garbage. 7 Ways to limit our own garbage with new reality.

5. Why are the top 3 inches in topsoil the most important gift for life on Earth?

6. What are the 4 levels of ecology to change people’s attitudes about sustainability?
7. Why can learning be described as 'making the invisible visible?' (lack of attention to details can create misunderstanding or opinion)
8. How does a forest fire show the basics of ecological succession?
9. How can ecological succession be applied to people’s “social succession?”
10. Why is a natural seed so precious versus a GMO (genetically modified organism)?
11. What is the symbolism of a cocoon in the story as the metamorphosis process?
12. Why is a spider web the best way to explain morality in Nature?
