Some suggest we mimic nature, while others point out that nature is a survival of the fittest, competition based reality. However, are we limited to the survival based mechanisms from which we evolved? Or, perhaps the very things that distinguish us as human, when embraced, will allow us to be in flourishing relationship with one another and the other life forms that co-inhabit our Earth. Thus, through our own self-actualization we could grow toward the possibility of sustainability.
