“We have expanded our living space into the seemingly limitless and developed our way of life scientifically, technically, economically and politically as if there were infinite resources and no limits to be accepted by us humans.”
“We are living in the age of the Anthropocene, in which the natural foundations of life are almost without exception humanly overformed, altered and increasingly destroyed. We are slowly – perhaps too slowly – gaining a growing general awareness that we humans are responsible and that our actions and inactions will determine how long we can continue to live on this planet.”
