We take. We take from society, we take from others, we take from this world. What is the ecological footprint for 2009. What is our demand on this planet's ecosystems today?
Human beings consume like there is no tomorrow. There will be no tomorrow if we continue our greedy consumption, or it will be a tomorrow we would not want to live in.
We cannot live like ostriches with our heads in the sand, ignoring what is happening around us, what happens in our world. We eat too much while children starve. We push in the name of development, animals become extinct. We ignore the environment, Nature fights back.
What about giving back. Life is good - help others. Life is not too good - help others and at least you will feel better for the doing. Slow down all this development so there is sustainment and time for regeneration.
We need to rein in our hunger and let Nature take a breath.
