"Exploit The Earth Or Die"



A short statement that packs a lot of punch:

Exploit the Earth of Die. I love it because it's true. Every single creature on earth from the lowliest worm to the highest mammal has to exploit his environment in order to survive. Man is no different except in the fact that we can think about the best way to do the exploitation.

What nonsense. Nature does not "exploit" anything, it simply exists according to the "laws" of nature...there is BALANCE, not "exploitation". It is mutual RELIANCE not exploitation.

Exploitation for mankind's sake says "fuck balance, I'll do as I please". The phrase "exploit the earth or die" is reprehensible, irresponsible & dishonest. It is the duty of mankind to help maintain the delicate balance that we disrupted, not continue to disrupt it.

Exploit the Earth whilst you can, because your ignorance, myopia & greed will mean that there will not be much left to exploit. But then you don't care about your children's future because in the words of Bush, "we'll all be dead".

What kind of sick mind would extol the virtues of deforestation, extinction & habitat erosion. "Exploit the Earth AND die" should be the message...if bee numbers continue to fall, there will be no bees...no bees means no pollination of plants, no pollination of plants means no plants...no plants means no food, no food means death.

Enjoy your coffee mug

For a micro biologist to hold these beliefs is appalling. You are a disgrace to science.
