There will be a time when you will have eyes but cannot see
Have ears,
but cannot hear
Have a heart,
but cannot feel
Have a tongue,
but cannot speak
Have a mind,
but cannot think
And your ancestors will not recognize you ……

Ecological Worldview
• The earth is a finite system and no subsystem can exhibit endless growth.
• Neither the population or resource use can grow indefinitely and to behave as though it can is a threat to the natural, social and economic system.
