Matching Quote
"Cities are expanding at an alarming rate. Inter-tidal zones are being polluted as mangroves gives way to
marina
. Over-consumption is leading to soil erosion and desertification, which in turn cause famine and exert pressure on formerly fertile areas. We are pulling out the plugs of the system that keeps us alive. Every indicator is showing red: species diversity, water quality, weather patterns, the number of refugees.... We are unravelling nature like an old jumper."
