\u201cDeep ecology does not see the world as a collection of isolated objects but rather as a network of phenomena that are fundamentally interconnected and interdependent. It recognizes the intrinsic value of all living beings and views humans\u2014in the celebrated words attributed to Chief Seattle\u2014as just one particular strand in the web of life.\u201d <\/span><\/em>\u2013\u00a0<\/span>Fritjof Capra<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

If we compress the age of the Earth into the six days of the biblical creation story, we see that all visible forms of life evolve on the last day. The modern human species appears in Africa 11 seconds before midnight, and written human history begins around two-thirds of a second before midnight. Nature has sustained life for billions of years, and as latecomers, it behooves us to respect, honor, and cooperate with nature\u2019s inherent ability to sustain life. Today, we have the knowledge, the technologies, and the financial means to do so. What we are lacking is political will and leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n

FC\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u2013<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong>During the first three decades of the twentieth century, a dramatic change of concepts and ideas occurred in quantum physics. The new concepts have brought about a profound change in our worldview; from the mechanistic worldview of Descartes and Newton to a holistic and ecological view…<\/span><\/p>\n
