It's often said that what's good for birds is good for humans. Birds have always been used as a barometer for changes of an environment and the health of that environment. So when there are reports that point to a decrease in bird populations in Montreal, we should be worried. In this final episode of On Interdependence, we talk about birds and how protecting their habitat is important to our survival as humans.

The Saint-Lawrence River was used as a direct entry point for European colonizers as they made their way through and across the land that was eventually renamed Canada and the United States. Their arrival and use of the waterway eventually facilitated industrialization and its resulting ecological destruction, the extraction and depletion of the land's natural resources, and violence against Indigenous peoples that still continues today. In this fourth episode of On Interdependence, we examine how our use of the River damages the natural systems that rely on this large body of water.

On an average day, you'll take around 21,600 breaths. In doing so, your respiratory muscles continuously contract and relax, all day, and all night. How often do you consider the air that moves in and out of your lungs? What exactly are we breathing in and out 21,600 times a day? In this second episode of On Interdependence, we examine our sources of oxygen, and how clean our city's air is.
