"The earth is to be seen neither as an ecosystem to be preserved unchanged
nor as a quarry to be exploited for selfish and short-range economic reasons
but as a garden to be cultivated for the development of its own potentialities
of the human adventure.  The goal of this relationship is not the maintenance
of the status quo, but the emergence of new phenomena and new values.  Millenia
of experience show that by entering into a symbiotic relationship with nature
humankind can invent and generate futures not predictable from the deter-
ministic order of things, and thus can engage in a continuous process
of creation"
