My Prime Minister regards the economy as our highest priority and forgets that economics and ecology are derived from the same Greek word, oikos, meaning household or domain. Ecology is the study of home, while economics is its management. Ecologists try to define the conditions and principles that enable a species to survive and flourish. Yet in elevating the economy above those principles, we seem to think we are immune to the laws of nature. We have to put the โecoโ back into economics.

David SuzukiI see a world in the future in which we understand that all life is related to us and we treat that life with great humility and respect. I see us as well as social creatures, and when I began to look back and say, โwhat is the fundamental bottom line for us as social creatures?โI couldnโt believe it because it seemed so hippy dippy, but it was Love. Love is the force that makes us fully human.
