Environmental Interdependence

It is plain to see when looking at the natural world, that a chaotic splendour is at work. Whether it is by design or by chance matters not. 

The perfection of nature is not at all diminished by what force we believe gave her life, or by what name we give that force. 

To often we view ourselves as separate from the diversity of nature, our perspective is that of an external observer. It takes, however, only a few moments of quiet contemplation amongst her wonders for this obscure world view to dissolve. 

 Not only are we excruciatingly dependent on the natural world for our ongoing survival, but we owe our whole selves, as imperfect and flawed as we are, to protecting her from the current and worsening crisis. 

The current and dire situation we find ourselves in is a multi faceted battle. Deforestation, increasing salinity, chemical pollution from industry and agriculture, marine life depopulation, over fishing, over logging, mining, dredging, air and waterway pollution, Insecticides and genetic modification of plants and animals, increasing Co2 emissions... 

 The list is almost endless. 

And what is worse is that each of these issues is backed by big corporate money, political leniency, and our species psychological conditioning since the industrial revolution. 

 However, these above scenarios are NOT the problem, at least not the core cause of the environmental sustainability crisis. The problem is our approach towards our earth. 

The problem is the ludicrously catastrophic idea of separation. 

Of the hundreds of millions of species, and billions of subspecies, that together with us inhabit this world, only human beings with our oversized brains and self appointed dictatorial godlike status have the audacity to think that the exploitation of this planets perfect web of ecosystems can be stripped and sold for a profit of fake money and to benefit an imaginary man made and imperfect system called the economy.
