It has been found that plants of downtown areas produced more carbon dioxide
than they absorbed from the atmosphere and leaded air pollution to be deteriorated.

Trees changed their growth pattern to stand the heat of hot weather
because of unusual above-average temperatures.
All living things have their own reasons for being.
This film should serve as a warning to continuous environmental destruction by showing the counter-cycle of transformed creature against natural food chain.
