Think of the Earth's ecosystems and human civilization like, the inner workings of a nuclear reactor. Well, the reactor is starting to melt down, some fuckwit named Homo sapiens pressed all the wrong buttons. So, what do you do? You safely run through all the procedures to turn off the reactor (human civilization) to bring it down to a state of neutral energy output/input so you can later come in and build a better design that isn't as flimsy. We basically need to dismantle what we have been doing, because we've been doing it wrong, or out of ignorance at least. So, hyperproductivity rat race culture, the 40 hour work week, money, consumerism, even the way we power things has to go. We need to bring our own civilization into harmony and balance with the planetary system at large, because the planet is not our civilization's, our civilization is the planet's. And if we want to survive we need to reimagine how we do things, drastically. I only say we should willingly do this because it will happen in any case, if the ecosystems collapse most humans will die, along with the wildlife, and the survivors will have to rebuild anyway, and they most assuredly will, and they will do it knowing what their ancestors have brought upon the planet, and they will do better than we have.
