astronauts on the ISS are (surely) very careful not to muck up their station's systems & environment, 'cause if they do they are waaaaay out of luckThere have been several civilizations throughout recorded (and unrecorded) history that apparently collapsed due to their disastrous effect upon the environment.
The Easter Islands, the Mayans, the Angkor empire, etc.
Everything they did seems almost inconsequential compared to the massive mess we've been producing for the last 200 years.
...gleefully said as the pollutions and poisons we have dumped into the Earth are returning the favor as we Human Beings are now being killed by those very same environmental desecration's.Environment fear inappropriate content.
Brainwashing us for decades now.
I for one do not believe that will ever happen, at least not until we develop a sense of sacredness for the Earth.maybe it's just me, but it seems like people get carried way away, letting ideals get to their heads... it will be the "sapiens" part of "homo sapiens" that just might save the day (telling us how to do, what our hearts instinctively know would be good, i.e. balanced management & stewardship of natural resources)
Hey, i'm not saying it's all nonsense....gleefully said as the pollutions and poisons we have dumped into the Earth are returning the favor as we Human Beings are now being killed by those very same environmental desecration's.
How fertiliser helped feed the world
if we farmed with the best techniques available in Fritz Haber's time, the earth would support about four billion people.
So, without exaggerating, about half (4 of 8 billion) of the world's present population relies on artificial ammonia-based fertilizers.
And, everyone knows, that about all (8 of 8 billion) of the world's population relies on farming, in some form. The number of hunter-gatherers is (comparatively) miniscule.
I for one do not believe that will ever happen, at least not until we develop a sense of sacredness for the Earth.
The thing is, I don't believe we as a people will take responsibility until we find a way to experience the Earth as something special, even sacred.It doesn’t even need that, (although I agree it would be great) just that we take responsibility for what we create on an individual basis and the processes involved in the creative process for things provided in our lives.

People really ought to recognize that we have exactly one "spaceship Earth". We don't have a backup we don't have a Plan B. And if we muck up our glorified "space station" We've doomed ourselves.I for one do not believe that will ever happen, at least not until we develop a sense of sacredness for the Earth.
I totally agree with you in every way. But at the same time, isn't seeing the "connection to the world and how everything is an ecosystem and works in relation to something else", isn't that something that creates a type of sacredness of the Earth in a person? The life in the biosphere of the Earth, which as you say we learn through education, is something very special. It can become special enough to protect and take care of because we see something in it that touches us. Yes through education. But built into that feeling of speciallness still feels like a sense of sacredness to me.Perhaps not. I’m bias myself by my own experience of the sacredness that you mention. But I do see the scientific framework as a way for people to see their connection to the world and how everything is an ecosystem and works in relation to something else, but education needs to be heightened in that regard more fully. We shall see
