interdependent

Mutually dependent; reliant on one another.

• All life on our planet exists only because we are enmeshed within a complex web of interdependent ecological and social systems.
• Steeped in a culture telling us to think of ourselves as consumers instead of citizens, as self-reliant instead of interdependent, is it any wonder we deal with a systemic issue by turning in droves to ineffectual, individual efforts?
