The starry background may remind us that
this spaceship Earth has no emergency exit.
A finite planet has limited space and resources. Sustainability means human society in the balance with nature. The balances are maintained if resources are not consumed at a higher rates than nature needs for regeneration. |

Humanity is destroying its very base of existence. We are depleting resources at increasing speeds because of economic growth policies and unrestrained population growth. Hope  , Optimism
or Technology
can't
recreate lost resources or revive extinct species. |

We are still the same Hunters and Gatherers as in the Stone Age
Except that our technologies have enabled us to hunt and gather much more efficiently.
Whereas our ancestors were limited by their primitive means, we - modern man - are now depleting and destroying nature irreversibly. None of the bounty hunters in power today is ever imagining what will happen the day after we'll have found and used all oil and gas and coal and forests and fish and groundwater. 
Once there's nothing left to hunt and gather, what will then happen to me and my children?
What will the WTO's free-traders trade without stuff to be traded? What will be left to eat and drink - at the end of modernity? How much nature and birds and all will be left to enjoy? We will be thrown back into a barren landscape, a stone age without nature:

What future do we have with these kinds of development? What would take our societal powerful to ecological reason? |
 
How can we get there?
