Quote of the day:

"If Earth is considered a closed system, there will be less for all forever. The frontier is closed, the wilderness is gone, nature is being destroyed by human consumers, while billions are starving. The future indeed looks grim, and there are, ultimately, no really long-range, positive solutions, nor motivation for making the sacrifices and doing the hard work needed now, unless we understand that we are evolving from an Earth-only toward an Earth-space or universal species."

Barbara Marx Hubbard
(Dec 22, 1929 -                   )
As quoted in an editorial, Distant Star, 1997 (Electronic Magazine of the First Millennial Foundation)
