QUOTE : If we want to survive on this planet, we are going to have to understand that we need to respect the laws of ecology:<br /> Law No. 1: The strength of any ecosystem is based on biodiversity. The decreased level of biodiversity on the planet today is our most serious problem, even more serious than global warming.<br />Because…<br /> Law No. 2 is interdependence: all species are interdependent; they need each other.<br /> Law No. 3 is the law of finite resources: growth has a limit and there is a limit to the earth's carrying capacity.
