I love this article and am put in mind of a Manx proverb: "It is not what we Take up, but what we Give up, that makes us rich." I really had to reflect on that one, and when I did, I realized how true it is. Every time I sacrificed something, there was richness beyond my wildest dreams that came about. Not in money. In love, education, adventure...Our culture is so focussed on monetary gain. To what end? We are destroying the very systems that sustain life.
So very true !! We need to protect our resources, and use them wisely or we will all lose-the boom and bust cycle is all too true. Yes, the resources are there, but we need to examine closely the impact their removal has on the whole ecosystem!
