What are the results of ecological illiteracy?

- “the result is a generation of ecological yahoos”

- “wounds we have inflicted in the natural world in the name of mastery”

- “People who do not know the ground on which they stand miss one of the elements of good thinking which is the ability to distinguish between health and disease in natural systems and their relation to health and disease in human ones”
