ABSTRACT

Exploitation and mismanagement of Earth’s natural resources has gone too far. The human race has evolved into such a large, dominant network; increasingly aware of our effects on Earth’s ecosystems, we realize that we must collectively manage our finite resources for the benefit of all life. We will have no choice but to mimic and design with ecology, ensure species diversity, support abundant polycultural food systems, optimize global nutrient recycling, and transform pollution while creating natural storage systems for carbon. Using our infinite talent and imagination, we can guide the Earth’s healing evolution. When the Earth is well respected and taken care of through proper management, she is capable of easily providing for everyone, if it is the collective will of the people to care for her and her diverse forms of life, thereby caring for ourselves and each other.
