Don't bother to reply if like WWF and RAN you think logging ancient forests somehow saves them, if like TreeHugger your focus is upon making over-consumption cool, or if like Grist you think being cuttingly sardonic matters. Help us spread the written word -- the Earth is gravely ill and only profound, revolutionary personal and social action can save us now. Contact us to write for Ecological Internet and share your truth regarding the depth of the global ecological crisis and what must be done to save being.

Saving UK's Seeds

British botanists are nearing their goal of saving the seeds of all UK plants. This is a testament to the ecological understanding that from seeds come life. What of their habitats and ecosystems? Are these going to be stored too? When most plants rarely exist in the wild and forests are fragmented to a portion of their pre-human extent, will humanity engineer a biosphere? Planetary well-being, human civilizations, economies and all animal life is completely and utterly dependent upon plants. I obviously have mixed feelings regarding seed banks.
