6 unexpected connections between Coronavirus & Environment | Sustainability Climate Change

In this whiteboard animation, I present 6 unexpected connections I have found between the coronavirus and sustainability, the environment and climate change. This video is about white-footed mice, speaking trees, opossums, humans and how our encroachment on nature increases the risks of a pandemic and decreases the capacity of the earth to sustain us. ** I create engaging sustainability videos to learn & teach.
