"Right outside our doors is a vast, living "instruction manual." Our task is to understand as much as we can about how systems function, that is, to read the instruction manual carefully, so that we can propose positive solutions that work."
The way in which we take care of the environment around us can be taught formally or non formally. Anyone can get otdoors and study, analyze, take note of the natural processes happening around them. The first step is, ass the qoute mentions, stepping out to see it. The awareness of nature is brought about throughout the experience of it. Natural processes are natural teachers, they teach us patience and how to to be gentle. It is nature that have survived for 3.8 billion years. It has not been inhabited by humans for 150,000 of those years. What we are left with is what has been sustaining itself for a large amount of time. It is now up to us to continue the process of the natural environment. The way in which to do that is on the terms of the beings that inhabit the earth. The way in which nature proposes the correct way in which it grows and sustains itself will be exposed the longer time is spent analyzing it.

"However, there really are no static elements anywhere in the universe. Changes happen through flows of energy and flows of materials, and these flows take place in regenerative patterns that are cyclical."
The notion that everything in the universe is the collective motion of change is in a way, combative to the illusion that things will always be the same or are unmovable. To be an immovable being is to not be a natural element in the universe. The way in which we evaluate things should be in the mindset that it will inevitably change in the future. The ways in which things change is a mystery to us. We can predict the outcome of a tree growing, but we cannot be for sure how the branches will turn out or how the roots will spread. The things in the universe that are immovable eventually don't survive, because this world is conducive to changing circumstances. This is what excites me about nature. The form is always changing and there is always changes in substance.

"The planetary system is currently operating at 140 percent of its capacity. If all humans on the planet lived with the same standard of living enjoyed by people in the United States and Canada, we would need 4.5 more planet Earths even if the population did not grow at all."
This is quite an alarming finding. I am one that would advocate for the equality of resources on the planet. But knowing that we are using up the resources that could be used for the promotion of a standard of living for others, I am surprised. We are using more resources than need and the planet is suffering in ways that make it impossible to provide for everyone. Instead of finding ways to allocate the resources evenly, we are given the best of the resources and the others are left to fend for themselves when searching for the resources needed to supplement a healthy lifestyle. It is a point to mention, on the other hand, that there are those within the United States and Canada that are living check to check, or worse, homeless. The way in which we can actually provide a decent amount of resources to these people and more across the world, is to reallocate resources.
