Evan Eisenberg writes, "It is dangerous to forget that we are a part of nature, but equally dangerous to forget how different we are".
I feel like this quote illustrates some of what I've come to realize through this course. Eisenberg makes the point that while we are a part of nature, in a sense that, we sprung from the earth, we are also incredibly different from the other things around us, in that we have been able to trump the laws of ecology. With this, our ability to live in nature, relies heavily on the effects we have on nature. With this I have come to realize, that our decisions should be based on the effects they will have on the earth, rather than what is natural to the earth, for everything is natural.
