Upheaving, extracting, and…

Upheaving, extracting, and streamlining such endeavours cannot result in a positive outcome. I understand that in Canada we are rich with natural resources, but I also understand that given the global climate crisis right now, that we do not have the “room” to be experimental. We are seeing the first hand effects of this ignorance from the industrial revolution now, habitats have been destroyed, entire eco systems. It needs to stop. The most effective way of protecting the land and it’s inhabitants is through the Indigenous ideology of doing things for the Seventh Generation in mind. It requires truly thinking about the consequences long term and deciding whether it’s truly sustainable or cradle to cradle. Sustainability may not sound appealing for businesses who intend to streamline growth, but a slow burn creates the most desirable smoke. With designing a business or human activity with the land and it’s protocols, it MUST be designed for long term (Seventh Generation) to protect both the land and it’s inhabitants and also allow the earth to replenish itself. Cutting down a tree and planting one does not account for or consider the abundance of years of the trees life, and it’s impact on the eco system throughout that time.
