The starry background may remind us that
this spaceship Earth has no emergency exit.
A finite planet has limited space and resources. Sustainability means human society in the balance with nature. The balances are maintained if resources are not consumed at a higher rates than nature needs for regeneration. |

Humanity is destroying its very base of existence. We are depleting resources at increasing speeds because of economic growth policies and unrestrained population growth. Hope  , Optimism
or Technology
can't
recreate lost resources or revive extinct species. |

None of the bounty hunters in power today is ever imagining what will happen the day after we'll have found and used all oil and gas and coal and forests and fish and groundwater.
