A new ‘biospheric’ ethic is required, says Edward
Goldsmith, major author of "The Blueprint for Survival" and founder-editor

must place ethical values in their appropriate context, that of mediating
sustainable human behaviour in relationship to society, the ecosystem, the
biosphere and the cosmos itself.
