| Description | In order for Earth to sustain a global human population of more than 7 billion people, which continues to increase daily, it is essential that we appreciate and comprehend our urban regions at a level that is greater than most, if not all, scientific levels in inquiry and understanding. The reason for such a high level of scientific inquiry is simple, this is where we live, and immediately beneath our feet is the contact between civilization and the natural world. Much of our human history has been spent in developing ways to conquer nature in numerous ways, which as we shall see in the course of reading this book, has not turned out well for nature and the organisms with which we share this planet. To underscore this point, Earth scientists are now convinced that we have now moved the needle of geologic time into a new period called the Anthropocene. This is significant because the definition of a Geologic Age is a time period that affects the entire Earth and will be recorded in Earth history and cannot be reversed. In order to support a human population on Earth we must not consume and pollute at current levels. In order to achieve a sustainable living, vibrant, and diverse world instead of a world without humans, we need to diligently work cooperatively toward living in productive harmony with nature instead of trying to change nature. This means that we must protect the air, protect the water, and protect the land. By protecting these three media, we can also protect the biosphere.
