My Conversations with Canadians Quotes

“Indigenous people have always believed that we are “good for nothing” when it comes to the earth. We are critical to no other life form. Even the man-eating crocodiles, eels, sharks, and hippos have other choices. The earth cannot do without bacteria, mosquitoes, bees, and other such small beings, but it can do without us and thrive. This should humble us. We should stop calling ourselves the top of the food chain, the top of the life forms. This anthropocentric narcissism costs us lives on this planet.”
