   I like to think of sound waves , though weakened, going outward forever. It makes one think twice about what you say, doesn’t it!

   Everything leaves a footprint elephants included. With our progress and population growth we are leaving a much bigger and worse footprint this is a fact. I haven’t read the book but wonder what he suggests to reduce our footprint and/or impact. If we didn’t have certain process’ there would be even more starvation, inadequate health care, increased squander etc. I think it is a fair assumption that there are “necessary evils” we must live with because we have put ourselves in a point of no return. Interesting information none the less.

   The Washington Post hosted an interesting online discussion with the authors of this book and of another one on marine conservation. The transcript is at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2007/07/27/DI2007072701908.html
