Study Notes
Ecology and Human Relationships
- Ecology is not just about humans and the natural world, but also about human relationships with each other.
- There are three realms of ecology: natural ecology, social ecology, and urban ecology.
Ecological Outlook
- The ecological outlook is holistic, meaning the whole is larger than the sum of its parts.
- It views unity and differentiation as essential for natural and social development.
- This development should occur spontaneously, without coercion, hierarchy, or domination.
Importance of Diversity
- Variety is valuable in both the natural and social worlds.
- Diversification is key in eco-technologies and eco-communities.
- A diversified approach is necessary for alternative energy sources, such as combining solar, wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric power.
Alternative Energy Sources
- Relying on a single alternative energy source is not a solution.
- A mosaic of energy sources is needed to create a new energy base with minimal use of traditional energy sources.
