I actually totally agree with that, and your writing on this subject is very responsible.
I just get nervous because it seems like the "science will solve everything" mindset--you know, let's not worry about what we're destroying now because someone else smart will come along and solve that problem for us.
I should be working out these issues within myself and getting more interested in sustainability. As it is we try not to be mindless consumers, but wow, I really resist thinking about growing stuff again because I'm so happy to sit on my butt and read after supper. Still an unbelievable luxury to me after all these years. And if I feel that way after being off the farm for twenty years, well, you know it's not an easy lifestyle. I just feel compelled to share that sometimes because we're in an age now where not many people have the experience of having grown up on a farm.
I do wish you the best of luck in your learning. We should all do that too.
