On one hand, we've created social structures based on the principle that we need to give something back to the system in order to be able to receive anything from it as individuals (e.g. work in order to make a living). Yet the same system that created these social structures does not apply the same principle when taking and exploiting natural resources. We take and unnecessarily exploit to excess, but what do we do as a society and as individuals to give back to the natural system that freely provides to us all the resources that we need to survive within it?
