Edward Goldsmith - The Way: An ecological world View.

The economic activities of modern day man are interfering ever more dramatically with the fundamental Gaian cycles – water, carbon, sulphur, phosphorus – thus disrupting the critical order of the biosphere and reducing its capacity to support life. This is unfortunately inevitable if economic development remains modern man’s overriding goal. For it is a one-way process, in which the biosphere is systematically transformed into the technosphere and technospheric waste – a process that cannot continue indefinitely.

Todays Green Thought comes from Edward Goldsmiths 1992 book The Way: An ecological world View.

Edward Goldsmith (1928 -  2009 widely known as Teddy Goldsmith), was an Anglo-French environmentalist, founder of The People Party (later to become The Ecology Party and eventually The Green Party) and founding editor and publisher of The Ecologist magazine.
