There are many inter-related environmental problems: species extinction, biodiversity loss, loss of soil (i.e. means to grow food), water pollution, air pollution, climate change, to name a few. At the core, they stem from human activities. Unfortunately, our legal and political systems, the very things that make society work, are structurally set on a destructive course, geared towards supporting economic development and the improvement of the lives of those who have all, at the expense of the vast majority and nature. We need to address these root systemic issues if we are to have any chance of survival. That is the bottom line.
