“A threat to any part of the environment is a threat to the whole environment, but we must have a basis of assessment of these threats, not so that we can establish a priority of fears, but so that we can make a positive contribution to improvement and ultimate survival.”

Context: If we are to exercise our responsibilities so that all life can continue on earth, they must have a moral and philosophical basis. Simple self-interest, economic profit and absolute materialism are no longer enough... It has been made perfectly clear that a concern for any part of life on this planet — human, plant or animal, wild or tame — is a concern for all life. A threat to any part of the environment is a threat to the whole environment, but we must have a basis of assessment of these threats, not so that we can establish a priority of fears, but so that we can make a positive contribution to improvement and ultimate survival.

“Life unfolds in very unique and mysterious ways. We are made by the actions we take or the inactions that solidifies with our environment to bring about a choice for us to take action or inaction and this cycle repeats and repeats to bring us to this point we are in time. When all of our individual actions accumulate this brings about a great change to our environment which in turn changes us as it slowly evolves.
When you contemplate this simple
concept further you realise at one point we have the ability to change our environment and at another point we can't help but be changed by our environment; our environment defines us as people and as people we shape our environment but as all great things we are limited by our very own environment but we still have the capacity of changing said environment, Here my friends is a paradox of life.”
