The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment was initiated by the United Nations in 2001 as “an international work program designed to meet the needs of decision makers and the public for scientific information concerning the consequences of ecosystem change for human well-being and options for responding to those changes.” The results of the study are comprehensive and often quite alarming.
We need an Earth for our children to inherit. There is an opinion, that impoverishment increases the danger to our biotic Earth. I believe that. I believe when people are left in poverty they lose any parameters to reaching beyond their own daily needs to find what is actually vitally important to their existance.
Think about it.
Earth is valuable. More valuable than money.
