My Environmental World View

I think that I fall somewhere between the "stewardship" and the "environmental wisdom" worldview. This is because I believe that we are completely dependent on the earth and its ecosystems, and are not above any other species, but I also believe that we have a unique opportunity and ability to positively influence our earth. I think that it is rather naive to say that we are completely equivalent with other species in terms of changing the outcome of environmental issues. We clearly have the technology and the intelligence to both do great harm to our earth but also to improve our earth and reverse some of the damages we have already inflicted. I think that I am more on the environmental wisdom side as far as learning the rhythms and cycles of how the earth works and using that to inform our actions. One section of stewardship that I do not agree with is that "we will probably not run out of resources." I think it is very clear that if we do not drastically change our actions, there is no way that resources will be available indefinitely.
