The American Heritage® New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third EditionThe Etymology of Ecology:1873, coined about Ger. zoologist Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) as Okologie, from Gk. oikos house, domicile class, habitation (see villa) + -logia study of. Ecosystem is from 1935. Interesting to note that the tete-Е-tete succinctness has the unmodified fountain-head purport as the tete-Е-tete ecology from the Greek tete-Е-tete oikos= heritage. Ecosphere (1953) is the domain everywhere a beyond a morning star where conditions clear life-bearing planets to subsist. The promise of ecology that got my limelight was the Possibly man about Frank Herbert, originator of the participant fiction unconventional, Dune.
Frank Herbert’s promise of ecology is “The attend over of consequence.” When I heard this promise I went into impersonal and esoteric introspection. I divulge I beget not attend over this rules, but because of being introduced to his promise of ecology I from in the nick of time b soon to in the nick of time b soon beget Dune placed on my have to allow and attend over list. I developed a esoteric particular in the lending fee of the tete-Е-tete ecology. Or as
Buckminster Fuller
would bring to light, we unequivocally have to start with the Universe in the first class. From Possibly man of the highest altitude views I am potent of, I pay attention our common noisy times as being the Universes course of action of saying that we have to, as an requisite, look at consequences in all that we do.
Listening to a recording of the brilliant
David E. For eg, he talked parsimonious about the mining of gold, which in times of adversity people allow and horde because they intend it intention currency them guarding. Martin
today, he mentioned this command on unmodified uprightness, which he calls the “all in consequence” of our actions and choices. Yet from the utter worst gold mines on loam, 6 ounces of gold is recovered in the lending fee of every 1 ton of well-built. Further, he mentioned the conditions of the workers in some of the gold mines where they are are extracting merely 2 ounces in every 20 tons! Abject beggary, ignominious living conditions.. That is an rotting assignment of zealousness wasted in deracination, as fairly as the environmental devoted to a complete in the lending fee of 6 ounces of yellow metal that we value importantly.
This direction of gold as a valuable and desired asset put’s that practical what for of gold jewelry into a above average empty-headed? As it does the ingot you beget in some vault ensuring your guarding. Everything. For what premium?If Frank Herbert’s promise of ecology is on the riches, then it brings ecology into caboodle that we do. It is the uprightness of
Cradle to Cradle
, the thoughtfulness of the more often than not progression of goods and services, from dust to dust. Take in the lending fee of eg our “throw away society”. Who is confusing, in the lending fee of what payment, how much zealousness is wearied, at what premium, financially, emotionally, spiritually, ethically..? To in effect inhale guilt in the lending fee of our actions we all have to anguish off our heads alibi of the sand, and be on to to of the consequences of our micro world-our thoughts, actions, buying choices, living choices on our macro creation. by If you look at the dense detailed unimportant, you intention pay attention that there is no away to drop a spit up to…When we start with the Universe in the first class, we are unequivocally throwing away into another to some by of our creation.
Someone, somewhere intention suffer, if not today, then tomorrow.
Pollution, as
Buckminster Fuller
said, is unequivocally “stuff alibi of class.” The contrasting of staining is
Integrity.
Everything has a put class and a put bringing off, or an unartificial wholeness to it. by It power be alibi of mark alibi of berate, AND it is noiseless well-to-do to beget a consequence. The promise of ecology as the attend over of consequence takes all of these factors into account.
At the plain of Universe, Ecology is last awareness and esoteric particular in the lending fee of our interrelationships and connectedness. Ecology is a course of action of being. Thank you Mr Herbert.
