Our attitude toward nature must first be one of recognizing that we are creatures of nature and subject to its physical laws. But do we seek to simply follow the ‘natural course’ of things? Or do we seek to triumph over nature? A third possibility chooses the path of moderation, both harmonizing with nature and also utilizing it directly or indirectly for our benefit. We may even to a degree domesticate nature to our ends, gaining all of the advantages with none of the dangers of its conquest. The key here is seeking a relationship of calm intellectual interplay between us and the environment (Education for Creative Living, 47).
"The challenge of today is to save the planet from further devastation which violates both the enlightened self-interest of humans and nonhumans, and decreases the potential of joyful existence for all."

Does the predominant human relationship with the natural environment walk the path of moderation in the process of satisfying the demands of endless human growth?
Just as the children of a society or group require to learn the skills and character to create value in beauty, benefit, and good, so too, can they learn to create ecological value.
Turns out...
NOT SO MUCH!
