About Us
This we know. All things are connected like the blood which
unites one family... Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons and
daughters of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely
a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
Ted Perry, inspired by Chief Seattle
Eco Era- what it means to us...
"The era of human ecology"
Amidst the unprecedented destruction of the planet and increasing suffering of a large fraction of humanity given the hording of resources and domination of self destructive worldviews- we feel that another reality is possible. We feel that redefining our relationship to the ecology of the earth and the ecology of the human experience is essential to curb this trend. The practical implications of this reflect from the macrocosm of how we interact with land to the microcosm of how we understand what influences our personal well-being. In the spirit of our newly defined mission the activities that Eco Era supports and sponsors has broadened to encompass various innovative activities through our sister organizations and international alliances.
We agree with the Cary Institute of Ecosystem System studies with regard to the definition of ecology:
The scientific study of the processes influencing the distribution and abundance of organisms, the interactions among organisms, and the interactions between organisms and the transformation and flux of energy and matter.
Human Ecology
