*Sounds a little weird now, but bound to make more and more sense as the garbage inevitably rises.

"...it’s time for a “postnatural” environmentalism. Postnaturalism is not about recycling your garbage, it is about making something good out of grandpa’s garbage and leaving the very best garbage for your grandchildren. Postnaturalism means loving and embracing our human nature, ((("Love me, embrace my polluted detritus"))) the nature we have created to feed ourselves, the nature we live in. What good is environmentalism if it makes you depressed about the future?
This is about recognizing that our farms, and even our backyards and cities, are the most important wildlife refuges in the world and should be managed as such. We can keep people out of places we want to think of as wild, but these places will still be changing because of global warming and the alien species we introduce without even trying.
If we want these places to look like they did before us, we will have to constantly recreate them. It will be a huge job for us humans to keep nature “wild.”
Instead, it’s high time we saved ourselves — and not from nature. It’s true that prehistory is littered with the remains of failed civilizations, but Homo sapiens is not going away. Indeed, we humans can totally trash the planet and still survive. We already have in many ways.
Don’t like it? Stop trashing it!
Use renewable energy. Clean it up. Repair it. Get to work....
