List of Socially & environmentally conscious documentaries on Netflix

Among the hundreds of Nazi, Hitler, and JFK documentaries, there are documentaries I have favored and hope that others watch the material to gain insight, information, and a new found empathy and understanding for all people, animals, the planet, and ourselves. Of course there are so many more documentaries I enjoyed and see value, and I condensed a list below of the best documentaries to watch on Netflix that are currently uploaded, and a small list of the documentaries I thought were decent. Many movies and documentaries are deleted periodically from Netflix. Some good documentaries can be watched on youtube and other sites for free; and of course, the list of documentaries on the left side of the page, can be watched on youtube.

Additions to our Food & Ornamental forest

I like to say that I am building a food forest, likewise an ornamental forest, on this small, 0.6 acreage of land. I have been inspired by the garden magazines I have been reading, to add deciduous shrubs and trees to the landscape--so, we planted two Gold Rider Leyland Cypress trees, in the pictures below.
