Photosynthetic Organisms In The Sea Yield Most

We Want To Think Of Ourselves As Truly Special Creatures That Are Unique In The Universe And, Well, We Are. And We Have That Capacity To Wonder, To Question, And To See Ourselves In The Context Of All Of Life That Has Preceded The Present Time, And All That Will Go Off Far Into The Future, One Way Or Another.

We Are All Together In This, We Are All Together In This Single Living Ecosystem Called Planet Earth. As We Learn How We Fit Into The Greater Scheme Of Things, And Begin To Understand How The System Works, We Can Plan Ahead, We Can Use The Resources Responsibly, To Show Some Respect For This Inheritance That Goes Back 4.6 Billion Years.

We're Still Under The Weight Of This Impression That The Ocean Is Too Big To Fail, That The Planet Is Too Big To Fail.

We Have Become Frighteningly Effective At Altering Nature.

It Has Taken These Many Hundreds Of Millions Of Years To Fine-tune The Earth To A Point Where It Is Suitable For The Likes Of Us.
