“As a bio-philosopher - as someone who draws upon the scriptures of nature, recognizing that we are the product of the process of evolution, and in a sense, we have become the process itself - through the emergence and evolution of our consciousness, our awareness, our capacity to imagine and to anticipate the future and to choose from amongst alternatives.” ProcessConsciousnessImagineAwarenessProductsEvolutionDrawsCapacityPhilosopherScriptureAlternativesRecognizingAnticipateEmergenceBios Author:Jonas Salk
“And when comfort is what we want, one of the most powerful tonics alternative medicine offers is the word 'natural.' This word implies a medicine untroubled by human limitations, contrived wholly by nature or God or perhaps intelligent design. What 'natural' has come to mean to us in the context of medicine is 'pure' and 'safe' and 'benign'. But the use of 'natural' as a synonym for 'good' is almost certainly a product of our profound alienation from the natural world.” WorldWantHumansMeanUseNaturalPowerfulDesignProductsComfortOffersPureSafeIntelligentMedicineProfoundAlternativesLimitationMost PowerfulAlienationNatural WorldBenignIntelligent DesignSynonymAlternative Medicine Author:Eula Biss
“There are certain products that it's worth buying organic just because the alternatives have so much pesticide. There's a list of the dirty dozen that you can get off the Web.

“The alternative to intellectual property is straightforward: intellectual products should not be owned, as in the case of everyday language.

“We have so many alternatives, like kenaf. It produces more crop, it's hardier, and creates incredible paper products. Why are we deforesting for pulp and paper when we have a logical and efficient solution in plants like kenaf or bamboo? It doesn't make sense to me at all.

We do it by trying to produce products and services that our customers will value more than their alternatives, and not just their alternatives today, but what the alternatives will be in the future.

“There are many innovators hard at work seeking to perfect alternatives to meat, milk, and eggs. These food products will, like computer-generated graphics or photography or sound systems, just keep getting better and better until there is little difference between an animal-based protein and a plant-based one, or farm-produced versus cultured meat. That will make it easy for people to make the kinds of choices that will usher in a world with far less violence.” PeopleWorldKindLittlesHardChoicesEasySoundDifferencesPerfectAnimalViolenceProductsComputerPhotographyPlantSeekingAlternativesMeatGet BetterEggsFarmsMilkVersusProteinInnovatorsSound Systems Author:Wayne Pacelle
