What the worst and unpleasant result that we have now is that caused to all the nature everywhere. And when we refer to nature, it means all the natural landscape, as trees, rainforest, mountains, hills, soil, and more, that we had before livestock and cattle.

LEARNING FROM HISTORICAL INNOVATORS
In Jared Diamond ' s most recent book,“ Collapse”, he looks historically at some of the major societal collapses and he assesses and analyzes the reasons why those collapses happened. Were they because of disease, or because of agricultural issues, or because of population pressure, or food shortages. He also analyzes different case studies of societies that averted collapse. This is particularly telling when it comes to knowing how we can avert ecological collapse on planet earth as a whole. It also adds weight to the decisions that you and I make on a day-to-day basis when it comes to the foods that we eat. One of the case studies that he explained was about the small Pacific island of Tikopia. This small island is actually just the tip of a volcano that pops up in the ocean.

The closest island is about a day ' s sailing away( there are about 100 people on that island) and then it is another day or two to the next major inhabited island- making Tikopia one of the most remote islands in the world. However, people have successfully lived and maintained a steady population on this island for thousands of years. It is reasoned that this is likely because they made two critical distinctions in how they saved their island from collapse, especially in comparison to other islands that have collapsed, such as Easter Island.
