If you take from your environment and return nothing but polution, you eventually loose your environment. It's the philosophy that if other things cannot live with you, then you will not live long either. We have to learn to cooperate with nature to be successful from an ecological standpoint ; and since I know this was not originally a conservationist discussion, We have to learn to cooperate with the natural laws in economics,(ie. supply & demand, etc.). Rather than exploitation, I think I prefer synergism! Cheers, Fred Williams
