Farming domesticated species in close proximity with wild fish will mean that domesticated fish always win. Nobody in the world of policy appears to be asking what is best for society, wild fish or farmed fish. And what sort of farmed fish, anyway? Were this question to be asked, and answered honestly, we might find that our interests lay in prioritizing wild fish and making their ecosystems more productive by leaving them alone enough of the time.","author":"Charles Clover","tags":["aquaculture","ecosystem","farmed-fish","fish","ocean","wild-fish"],"id":74393,"author_id":"Charles+Clover"},{"text":"Humans have wandered the Earth for thousands of years but never has our capacity to alter the Earth’s ecosystem at a larger scale been more prominent than it is today.","author":"Kat Lahr","tags":["anthropocene","change","earth","ecosystem","environment","humans"],"id":106773,"author_id":"Kat+Lahr"},{"text":"Where there is a smoke, there is an ecologist.","author":"Ljupka Cvetanova","tags":["aphorism","ecologist","ecosystem","environment","fire","pollution","preserve","smoke"],"id":223474,"author_id":"Ljupka+Cvetanova"},{"text":"Problem is (follow me closely here, the science is pretty complicated), if I cut a hole in the Hab, the air won't stay inside anymore.","author":"Andy Weir","tags":["ecosystem","habitat","mars","science","space-travel"],"id":230755,"author_id":"Andy+Weir"},{"text":"In an era of globalization, we recognize that we are part of a global society, but we have no idea how to make such a society work. So far, no unified vision or leadership has emerged to guide us in this endeavor. We have not yet found a way to expand the spiritual ideals of democracy so that they pertain to every human being, every animal, and every plant. Until we do, human civilization and the Earth's ecosystem will continue to be in peril.","author":"Victor Shamas","tags":["animal","animal-rights","animal-welfare","compassion","democracy","democratic","ecosystem","global","globalization","human-welfare","ideals","kindness","leadership","plant","spirit","spiritual","spiritual","spirituality","vision","visionary-leader"],"id":235376,"author_id":"Victor+Shamas"},{"text":"Do You want to be Surrounded by Great People?
