Imagine if a single person could -amplify- their ecological impact so that a single day of their lives… had the same impact as, say… 10,000 days of the lives of 100 people living somewhat more responsibly.

Imagine the impact on the environment… of their -every gesture- … and their complete blindness to this… because they, in belonging to the causal population, have no connection whatsoever to all that they destroy.

In such a situation, a single person’s lunch can cost 5 pods of whales. A telephone call can cost 15 prides of lions. One trip to the grocery store, can cost 10,000 birds.

This is what it means to live in, support, and belong to our nations of ‘cities’. We magnify the impact of a single human life to an absurd explosion of environmental atrocity and then, as if out of our minds, we suggest ‘population control’.

No one sees. And here’s the reason:

The damage gets hidden in nature.

Which hides it, in turn, in our intelligence… (which, ps. is a product of our relationship with and the health and diversity of nature) which is where the problem arose…

Until there isn’t any left.

Of either.
