The environmental damage being done to the earth has reached crisis proportions. Many causes have been proposed: too many people; industrial society; human ignorance or inability to control themselves; human nature (greed); and a "perpetual growth philosophy." Discussion will be focused on how the inner logic and normal functioning of our economic system is contributing to this crisis.
