We Live in the Natural World
We're going to have to find a Way of scaling back this runaway train of civilization, and relearn how to Live in the Natural World.
We humans are coming face to face with the inescapable reality of
natural limits to human growth and consumption. If we are to survive as a
species, in company with the remaining species we have yet to
extirpate, we must find ways to live in harmony in the natural world.
Humans are not, despite current trends to the contrary, destined by
genetics to live as exploiters and destroyers of the natural world. Many
cultures lived for centuries in close harmony with others species of
plants and animals on which they depended. A few have survived the
onslaught of civilization, though dwindling rapidly.
