I'm reminded of William Irwin Thompson's declaration that "...we may be the planetary bacteria at work in recycling the hidden oceans of oil into a gas in a warmer atmosphere for a new biosphere. Just as the cyanobacteria were a threat to the continuance of the methane atmosphere, but served to create the oxygen atmosphere we now temporarily enjoy, so we humans may be unconsciously contributing to a new evolutionary biosphere beyond our present global industrial civilization."]]> Dirk Brandts http://places.designobserver.com/feature/the-temptations-of-survivalism-or-what-do-you-do-with-your-waste/13998/#comments 2010-10-06T23:57:42-05:00
