Ecosystem Services

Allot of the time we take the ecosystem for granted, but what would we do without it. In the podcast "Why Ecosystem Services Matter," the importance of ecosystem services are explained.

Ecosystem services are the processes that give us clean water, flower pollination, and fish in bodies of water. These examples listed are benefiting humans. There is a lack of credit given to ecosystem system. The articles brings up the point that most decisions are made finically, usually nature is never taken accounted for. The products that the ecosystem provide are priceless.

I agree with this article. I often find myself taking nature for granted and would like to try consider the ecosystem more often. The ecosystem provides necessities that can't be replaced, therefore I completely agree with this article.
