Bio-mass Resources

  1. Bio-sphere
    1. The current bio-sphere is parasitical but for some plants maybe. All animals source their consumables directly or indirectlt from plants.
    2. As bio-mass is finite so are the number of animals that can 'sustain' consuming it. It may be possible for humans to avoid killing or consuming biomass by using minerals and atrifical nutrients for sustenance but meanwhile we have to share what bio-resources there are.
    3. Excluding fossil fuels, bio-mass resources can be divided into two lots, predonimantly food crops and soft fibres and fuel and building materials, predominantly trees.
  2. Reasonable Use
    1. Well any reason could be given, plants immobility does not mean they are her for the b benefit of animals, but that they are suseptable to our demands to a large degree.
    2. What would seem reasonable is that we
      1. share the resources so as to avoid war,
      2. use them in a way that minimises bio-diversity loses
      3. find ways of reducing harm to othere non human creatures and
      4. Bio-mass and the soil are not really a renewable but a medium of nutirents, anchor and moisture to growth crops we desire. We have no care for the life in the soil other than to exploit it.
      5. Devoid of human intervention the soil would grow with successive seasons and become enriched providing the same or better medium for less demanding lifeforms.
