INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION

"Conserving habitats is a wellspring for the next industrial revolution."

- Janine Benyus

About this Piece

During the industrial revolution, soot from factory chimneys stained the trees bark - Birch trees which the White Peppered Moth once used to protect itself from predators now turned black, and their population dropped by 98%. We will share the same fate should we fail to acknowledge the implications of exploiting unsustainable resourcing.

Too much focus lies in extracting from the earth that which cannot regenerate, and the world will only end up a husk full of closed mines and empty houses.
