can Human and Nature co-exist?

Answer 1

I think not over the long term. Humans declared war on nature some thousands of years ago. It is a very long war, but humans are winning.

The only trouble is, when the war over, there will be nothing left for humans to live on.

Answer 2

Not with the way we consume, pollute and destroy the environment now.

However, there are lots of grassroots movements that are starting to get big-name support. Al Gore is a strong advocate for the environment, and his film brought at least some attention to the negative impacts humans are having on nature.

Governments, on the other hand, have really dropped the ball on the environment. Drilling in Alaskan reserves, allowing sport hunting/fishing, not monitoring industrial pollution effectively, not searching for alternative fuels - all of these are significant blows to the environment. Unfortunately, governments care more about making its citizens happy so that individuals can stay in office, and that means making more goods that ultimately cost nature more than it's really worth to humans.

Humans and nature used to coexist just fine. Then there was a population boom and the Industrial Revolution. With these two events, we forgot how important natural resources are and focused on hedonistic pursuits.

Some people argue that nanotechnology is the way to salvage what's left of nature and possibly restore it (Ray Kurzweil, notably, has argued this). Nanotech will produce goods with less energy input and virtually no waste. It will also help clean up environmental pollutants, and may help restore genetic variation among species that we have messed up by killing off individuals.

Humans are wavering on our relationship with nature. Many people want to save it, but they do not have the funds or the political backing to get preventive and corrective measures going. So yes, humans and nature CAN coexist - we're just not on that pathway as of today.

Answer 3

yes and not nature must but the human must
