For hundreds of years, industrial, agricultural, and urban development have degraded and disrupted natural systems, increased impervious surfaces, polluted watersheds, and emitted greenhouse gasses which have resulted in the climate crisis and its alarmingly destructive weather events we experience today. 

A raindrop hits the ground of a parking lot, slicks off with accelerating speed towards a gutter, collecting pollutants and litter along the way. It enters a series of concrete tubes and eventually to the ocean: never to pass through a plant’s roots or an animal’s lips all while toxifying everything downstream.
