I came across this while surfing for something on net..and found this worth sharing....

"We,in our day, have become accustomed to thinking that things have always been the same, and have forgotten that things have always been changing, and we have had to adapt, and changing very often because we were not living in synch with our surroundings, so it was that we chopped down trees as if they would last forever till no trees were left in whole forests, mined so hard and thoughtless for the environment that we silted up the rivers the trade depended upon, and then had to invent new technologies each time on which to depend on for the lifestyle we’d become accustomed to, and each time created devices that were more and more damaging to the environment, and all the while imagining that life was becoming more and more civilised... sound familiar? Next time someone talks to you about techno fix solutions, remember to ask them about the resources needed and if they think they will last for ever..."
