Earth Jazz

Eisenberg wrote, "To play Earth, you must first of all listen. To stand in a right relation to Eden, you must face Eden, look at Eden, learn from Eden." I agree with Eisenberg that society must learn from nature in order to "right the wrongs" that people have projected onto the earth. We should be managers or leaders in the protection and proper use of the earth and its resources. Former VP Al Gore recently won an Oscar for his movie on global warming, which he and his sources attribute to the misuse of resources by people, businesses, and industries. In order to manage a mature ecosystem, people must be educated, sensitized, and moderated.
Unfortunately, people are often more interested in short-term gain than long-term loss. In order "to stand in a right relation to Eden, we must stop misusing nonrenewable resources and start being concerned about waste management (in business and industry). Today's generations must "listen" to the Earth, its groanings and singing, so that future generations will be able to live in Eden, like subsequent ones. This will produce earth jazz--a beautiful, upbeat composition.
