I agree in that sometimes we don't look at God's / nature's (whatever your religious persuasion) "engineering design" ... and notice how "jigsaw puzzly" perfect it fits together. And try to imitate it ... rather than arrogantly try to bend the whole dang thing to "our" (us human's) will.
Take a Horse, for instance. It goes and takes a crap at the base of a tree. Notice that it only goes there to relieve itself. And gets it's own self-interest. And then walks away when it's done..... What we often don't see .. is that in crapping, the tree benefits also. By being fertilized. I think what we need to do is ... first ... look at our automobile ... really hard. Then, think to ourselves ... "if God / nature had to engineer this automobile ... where in the food chain would it put it???" Then find a similar item in nature ... which kinda/sorta has the same niche as what we want to engineer. An automobile does transportation .. so maybe ... a horse?? Need high speed ... so maybe a cheetah?? Then examine the design already in existence. Find out where the original designed item gets it "fuel" .. where it dumps its "waste" ... how it gets its "energy" ... etc. Then copy it. Maybe not exactly ... but do our best to be close. Our entire natural ecosystem is a fine tunes piece of machinery. Like a Porsche 944 turbo. And when the automotive industry makes "aftermarket parts" for that car (like a bigger turbo), it makes sure that the add-on part fits into the picture complementing the "system as a whole". That's how you get maximum performance. I think we should treat the ecosystem "car" ... with the same care. When we add on (automobile / houses / etc) AFTERMARKET PARTS. Just a thought.

What you call "waste" is returned to the soil to maintain the organic matter content, essential for everything - soil fertility, crop production, and the viability of the "soilfoodweb", the tons of micro-organisms in an acre of soil that make plant growth possible. So if you're going to take that away too and burn it in your car, what will you substitute for it? Chemical fertilizers? ===== Get your free newsletter at http://www.ezinfocenter.com/3122155/NL __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
