Quotes by Tom Butler  (?)

“It is through the sheer mass of society, not simply from malevolence, that the rising human tide has become deadly to the rest of life. The collective weight of a bloated humanity has dire ecological and social consequences. Every pressing problem, from poverty and malnutrition to biodiversity loss and climate change, is linked to human numbers and behaviour. In aggregate, the prosaic actions of people—eating, manufacturing, polluting, shopping, warring—have made our species the functional equivalent of a geological force, able to affect even the global life support systems and climate in which our species evolved.”
Tom Butler, Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot

“In ecology, the term overshoot describes the phenomenon of a species becoming so numerous that it outstrips its habitat.”
Tom Butler, Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot

“Not until man sees the light and submits gracefully, moderating his homoecentricity; not until man accepts the primacy of beauty, diversity, and integrity of nature, and limits his dominion and numbers, placing equal value on the preservation of natural environments as on his own life, is there hope that he will survive.”
Tom Butler, Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot
