Is It Not Possible That The Chimpanzees

As A Child, We Couldn't Afford Holidays Overseas, So Instead I Travelled Through Books. I Was Inspired By Dr Dolittle And Tarzan.

So Long As We Continued To Attach More Importance To Our Own Narrow Group Membership Than To The 'global Village' We Would Propagate Prejudice And Ignorance. There Was Absolutely No Harm In Being Part Of A Small Group - Indeed, With Our Hunter-gatherer Band Mentality It Gave Comfort, Provided Us With An Inner Circle Of Friends Who Could Be Utterly Trusted, Who Were Absolutely Reliable. It Helped Give Us Peace Of Mind. The Danger Came Only From Drawing That Sharp Line, Digging That Ditch, Laying That Minefield, Between Our Own Group And Any Other Group That Thought Differently.

If Everybody On The Planet Today Had The Same Standard Of Living As The Average European Or American, We Would Need Three New Planets. But We Don't Even Have One New Planet. We Have This One, And With The Way We're Polluting It, The Shrinking Water Resources, The Climate Change, The Experimentation With Plants... The Outlook Is Grim.

Change Happens By Listening And Then Starting A Dialogue With The People Who Are Doing Something You Don't Believe Is Right.

To Reconnect With Nature Is Key If We Want To Save The Planet.
