One
thing is sure. The earth is now more cultivated and developed than ever before.
There is more farming with pure force, swamps are drying up, and cities are
springing up on unprecedented scale. We’ve become a burden to our planet.
Resources are becoming scarce, and soon nature will no longer be able to
satisfy our needs.”
Quintus
Septimus Florens Tertullianus, Roman theologian, 200 AD
