Humans need to get together as a species

We humans need to get together as a species and get some shit figured out. We need to put aside all traditions and outmoded belief systems and look at the sobering facts before we overpopulate and pollute ourselves to death. Are we ready to "grow up" and realize our oneness with the rest of the planet and quit being moved by the unconscious whims of biology and primate politics? Maybe it's a pipe dream but it would be nice to put some thought into taking our foot off of the gas and applying the brakes before our runaway "civilization" flies off the cliff. Relating to life with anything other than a sustainable way of being is, obviously, unsustainable--meaning it is doomed to failure and ultimate collapse. Are we ready to "get real" or should we just carry on in an ignorant, destructive way, heads buried in the sand of the nightmare of isolation?
