Published on Dec 21, 2012 by Steve Cutts, this animation, created in Flash and After Effects, looks at man's relationship with the natural world. We might interject "First World" man's relationship with the natural world.

Steve Cutts is "a UK based illustrator and animator [whose] recent work includes the 'LA-Z Rider' couch gag for 'The Simpsons' and the music video for 'Are You Lost In The World Like Me?' for Moby." He's "also worked on projects for renowned agencies across the world including UNESCO, The Gaia Foundation, Isobar, LMFM, and Analogfolk'" and "been featured on various television networks...." Some of his work is reminiscent of celebrated animation pioneer, Max Fleischer, but Cutts' work moves beyond animation to include moving and memorable socio-environmental messages.
