Derrick Jensen and Aric McBay - ‘What we leave behind’

Industrial civilisation is incompatible with life. It is systematically destroying life on this planet, undercutting it’s very basis. This culture is, to put it bluntly, murdering the earth. Unless it’s stopped – whether we intentionally stop it or the natural world does, through ecological collapse or other means – it will kill every living being.
            We need to stop it.

Today’s Green Thought are the opening lines of the preface of ‘What we leave behind’ by Derrick Jensen and Aric McBay (2009).
