Document Summary

Thomas berry is one of the foremost christian thinkers on the relationship betwn humans and earth. Humans are becoming selfish they leave out everything ex: medicine is primarily used for humans how about medicine for fixing the earth. Technologies should be helpful to the earth not destroy it. Humans need to become interval with the earth. Humans have to know who they are and what they are doing. We need to respect the earth and universe. 3 major themes: the universe as contemporary scn shows us is in a process of development and represents the primary source of revelation. I consider that our new understanding of the universe is a new revelatory experience. Its not revelation in the sense that the bibles is revelation but it is nevertheless revelatory. We can stay the way we r and rely on tech to save our world- this kinda of approach is not gona help of be fruitful.

This part of the activity focuses on the practice of setting aside natural areas for ecological, cultural, and recreational purposes. In some wilderness areas, human use of the area is kept to an absolute minimum. But, it can be expensive and difficult to maintain wild areas with little human influence. The areas are so beautiful that they attract many visitors, who in turn can harm the natural attraction itself. Vehicles can be a particularly difficult problem in natural areas such as this. Yellowstone Park was established in 1872 and has more than 2.2 million acres. It remains one of the most popular units of the U.S. National Park system and has more than 3 million visitors each year. Instructions Review the Case Study at the beginning of Chapter 12, entitled Ć¢Ā€ĀœProtecting Forests to Prevent Climate Change,Ć¢Ā€Ā and Section 12.3, entitled Ć¢Ā€ĀœParks and Preserves.Ć¢Ā€Ā Consider reasons it is important to maintain forest ecosystems.
