How can we save this planet?

aethen@dostscholars.org — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 08:16:02 PST

Talk of ‘saving the planet’ doesn’t make sense. The Earth has been and always will be in a state of flux. It drives and is driven by nature (including us). The question is will we save ourselves or will we join the long list of extinct species that have walked this Earth?
