I was recently interviewed about my animal extinction website by Mickey Z for the website Planet Green.Here is a snippet and the link to the full thing is below...
Planet Green: If you could reach as wide an audience as possible with information about extinction and the human role in this maddening trend, what would you tell them?
Michael Greenwell: I was thinking the about it the other day when I was showing Supersize Me
to a group of students. The doctor was telling Morgan Spurlock about
how the human liver is resilient and can heal itself but that by doing
his McDeaths experiment he was literally pickling his liver with toxic
food like was done in Leaving in Las Vegas with alcohol. I thought that
there was an analogy there. The ecosystem is resilient, it can take a
lot of sh*t that you might throw at it. Even if it takes a temporary hit
it can rebound and replenish itself...some individual cells will be
gone of course but other ones are made. This is the natural way of it in
normal times. However, if you just continually throw toxins at it day
after day after day then there comes a point when it just breaks down
and there are only 2 ways out"transplant or death. As there is no
transplant to another planet available (and even if there was, should it
make a difference?) we and everything else only have one way to go if
we don't stop our toxic diet. And the doctor has been telling us for a
long long time that we need to start looking after ourselves better.
