Example text
The black tern with its gorgeous, glossy breeding plumage and its gregarious nature will live in flocks that can number in the tens of thousands—try to imagine the sky awash with twenty or thirty thousand birds. The male canvasback duck makes sweet coos when he’s courting, and the female, like many bird mothers, pulls the down off her body to line her nest. I won’t belabor this. The list of birds is a roll call of the damned and it stretches from here to hell. And any bird dependent on a river will find its name written there.
There were too many of us, billions too many, to use anything but agriculture to feed ourselves. Our numbers made us dependent on clearing land and using it for our species only. But that process was destroying the topsoil. Without soil, there’d be no food, no life. If what he was saying was true, the eventual end point was massive starvation. “Plowing the soil exposes it to sun, rain, and wind,” he explained. In case his words weren’t clear, he had slides. For example, he had pictures of Mesopotamia, the “land between the rivers”, in what is now called Iraq.
Even the people who should know better fall for the Man as Apex myth. At a groovy Earth Day gathering, a line of costumed dancers was supposed to represent the food chain, starting with plants and ending with humans. But it doesn’t end with us, I kept insisting to anyone who’d listen, mostly my companions who got tired of hearing it. What about the scavengers, the coyotes, the carrion birds? What about the insects, the maggots, the bacteria? We’re not at the end because it’s not a line. It’s a circle, and if it ends anywhere it’s with the degraders feeding the producers.
