Resource Depletion Quotes

• Los principales problemas de Gaia no son la industrialización, el agotamiento de la capa de ozono, la superpoblación o el agotamiento de los recursos. El principal problema de Gaia es la falta de entendimiento mutuo y de acuerdo mutuo en la noosfera sobre cómo proceder con esos problemas. No podemos frenar a la industria si no podemos llegar a un entendimiento mutuo y a un acuerdo mutuo basado en una perspectiva moral mundialista respecto a los bienes comunes globales. Y llegamos a la perspectiva moral mundialista a través de un difícil y laborioso proceso de crecimiento interior y trascendencia.

• Many problems that challenge us today can be traced back to a profound tension between what is good and desirable for society as a whole and what is good and desirable for an individual. That conflict can be found in global problems such as climate change, pollution, resource depletion, poverty, hunger, and overpopulation.

• It seems the most logical thing in the world to believe that the natural resources of the Earth, upon which the race depends for food, clothing and shelter, should be owned collectively by the race instead of being the private property of a few social parasites.

• If we somehow put a value on species extinction and factor that into our costs that bottom line would look very different. IF we put any resource depletion into costs our bottom line would change. So what we have is a dishonest market that does not take into account all the costs when it establishes its prices. We need an honest marketplace before we can let the market work for sustainability rather than against it as it works today.
