Kahn's Discussion in Class

The class as a whole had really good quotes to talk about from Richard Kahn's article. Despite the article being very hard to follow, the fact that he stated so many eye opening facts really captivated the reader's attention. One of my favorite quotes from the article was “This relationship – to think ecologically is to think about the relationships between things – declares that a threat to either the organism or its environment is a movement towards the ecology of death: the life process requires both and any process that so binds the one or the other so as to threaten “both” is in some sense courting death and moving away from the love of life.” This quote is the one I chose to discuss because I believe this point right her correlates to everything we've been learning in class about the environment's relationships with humans. What I took out of the quote is that humans have to react to things happening to them with the knowledge that the environment and other species are being affected as well.
