planet? Identify the basics: water/food/clothing/shelter/healthcare/a clean environment. Create an economic system that fulfills these needs. Everyone who is able, contributes something to the process of achieving and sustaining this. Within this framework, make room for innovators and entrepreneurs. Allow them to be rewarded for breakthroughs in making the process easier, more efficient. But don't jeopradize the basics. Nature in and of itself, poses significant challenges (both current and potential) to human security. However, we have to recognize when human behavior is placing our security in jeoprady and we must alter our own behaviors accordingly. Admittedly, no easy task.
