Throughout the reading it has become evident Kohak has found ways to present a number of ways in which the human population can respond to certain evironmental issues. As always compromise seems to be the best solution. With todays culture and massive population, it would be impossible to revert back to the "hunter gatherer" way of life without a massive extermination of the human race and Kohak himself says the problem is not so much the population, but the exponential growth. The obvious choice to address the issues is to maintain the farming we do now, but to realize the idea that "there is no more enough, there is only more" is not how we need to live. I agree with Kohak, as a population human-kind has become largely concerned with the survival and the prosperity of me rather that the prosperity of the world as a whole and this has largely thrown us out of harmony with nature. As humans, "we are not intruders by our presence", because if we were not meant to be here than obviously we would not be, but the way we have been treating our environment and our actions has made us intruders on a planet we were intended to co-exist on. While continuing our wasteful ways continues the decline of the planet, we need to learn to "treasure every piece of bread" rather than toss out leftovers or even throw a bottle in the trash instead of recycling it. It is about treating the planet as if God had created it to equal rather than dominated by man.
