> {{We need to be respectful and careful with nature and the environment.}} Environmentalism goes beyond corporate green-marketing gimmicks, beyond debates over global warming and beyond the irrefutable molecular pollution of the biosphere. {{Environmentalism is about life itself, because the environment is the space where all life happens.}} From the microcosm to the macrocosm, {{there is a total symbiosis between the environment and all its diverse inhabitants representing an inseparable physical interdependence.}} From the fungi and billions of microorganisms in a handful of living soil, to intestinal microflora forming the endosymbiotic relationships enabling human digestion, immunity systems, and vitamin synthesis— {{no part of human life is possible without the total environment.}} One could say that from the tiny microbes, to higher-order multicellular organisms, we are all in this thing together.
