Indigenous people lived in harmony with nature at much lower population densities, although the Inca were populous. So here we are at 8 billion, with 10 times more human biomass than all the other terrestrial mammals, so out of balance in so many obvious ways, but people choose to just keep on with what they are doing like lemmings going over the edge. I know there ARE people choosing to have no kids or only one, and people choosing to live in less damaging ways, so that is promising, but there are more who are just grabbing whatever they can as fast as they can. We need a better political movement calling attention to the mass extinction and genocide for which our species is responsible. Your essays are a clarion call!

There's got to be ways to bring this problem to the forefront of discussion. That might just save the human race as well as most other life on Earth. Conservation, environmental, and animal advocate organizations need to get going on this!

I think we should go through a marriage ceremony where we swear to love, honor, and protect Planet 🌎 Earth.
