The benefits of living a synergistic life with nature far outweigh those of simply living a less disruptive one. Good teams thrive on synergy. On this planet, we are on the same team as all the other living creatures. Changing our ways-of-life that are disruptive to the delicate balance of all these things is not good enough. We need to get back to synthesizing a synergy between humans and the planet so that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. We are all connected.
