Nature’s Deal Humanity Can’t Refuse

(Saturday rerun from 2012-11-06)

Two facts about humanity.

1. Humanity is one body. Our clothes, our food, our tools and practically everything produced by humans involves the coordinated efforts of 10s of 1000s of people. Whether a cup of coffee or a computer, the resources come from all over the world and are gathered, refined, manufactured, packaged, transported, distributed and sold by people who are supported by other people in order to eat, cloth themselves, travel, etc. We all do an individual task in a global machinery. Humanity is one.
(See the Orange Man on the top menu.)

2. Humanity is everywhere. The entire earth is humanity’s habitat. Unlike other society building creatures we cannot move on when we’ve grown too large or have used up the available resources. There’s no where to go.

Consider nature’s deal based on these two facts. It’s a deal that we can’t refuse.

Break away from the prevailing order and create a sustainable one
or perish.

That’s the deal. It’s not negotiable.
