Eco-Poetry

I define eco-poetry as poetry written on the pressing

issues of ecology that our world faces within the context

not only of warmer climate but, mist important of all,

the dangerous products, infrastructures, and extraction

methods used to exploit ecologically fragile self-sufficient

eco-systems like river basins, mineral mines like uranium,

lithium, hydrogen, etc which by being rarified would,

ultimately, change our planet's topography - not to mention

the destruction of the animal, bird, and wildlife niches

and the disruption of their specific life-styles. What

are the solutions to these destructive practices? I think

one word offers a global solution to all the local eco-

problems that we face today and that is r e g u l a t i o n

tht can be brought about by geographers, ecologists,

engineers, zoologists, biologists, geologists, and eco-lawyers

both logistically and legislatively. Bio-Se m i o s i s based on

the initial philosophy of Charles Sanders Peirce is an important

method that enables us to understand animal language

through the signs they give us in order to regulate

and manage their environments that would be beneficial

both for them and for us humans in a transient and

already depleted planet. E.B.
