Heroes Not Zombies

I don’t know why people still talk about “dominating”, “controlling” or “beating” Nature.

Nature always finds a way. Nature always adapts and thrives.

In the longer term whole cities have disappeared back into deserts or jungles. Roman roads vanish under fields.

However, since the Industrial Revolution we humans have been making it a lot harder for Nature. We are responsible for massive losses in diversity and unsustainable climate change.

It’s time, well, long beyond time, for us to learn from Nature and to adapt, to change our ways and learn to live as part of Nature, not apart from Nature.

Otherwise, it’ll be our species which fails. Not Nature.
