Interviews with Aaron Viles with the gulf Restoration Project & the Yes Lab

Here's the link for the Gulf Restoration Network.  As Aaron Wiles, the director pointed out, nothing will be done to redress this death threat to the environment until those at the top of the food chain feel it.  And that begins when the rest of the country understands the "enlightened self-interest" aspect of the end game.  The Gullf touches all of us in ways great and small.  We are responsible for what happens to the planet wherever it happens. 

And here's why: a creature evolves in synchronicity with its habitat.  There is no possible way one can disentangle the environment from the animal because there are so many threads and so many millenia of glacial change.  At this point inn the proccess, the human animal's habitat is the entire earth.  If you take it as an 'a priori' that when the habitat dies the living things that have evolved with it die, then we are all dead when the Gulf dies. Seems a simple equation.  But it is pitted against an ignorant populace whose lives are spent eating and shitting and when they are gone, all they will leave behind is an enormouse waste dump.
