| "It is
clear that the 21st century is going to be a century of the environment in which literally
every new technology will have to meet environmental needs. Investments in Science for Ecological
Security will have to become a very critical element of our investments in Science for
food security, our health security, our industrial development, our livelihood security
and, indeed, even our national security in the larger sense.
 In the years ahead, people and technologies,
will have to move much closer to nature's own geophysical cycles and to more gentle use of
nature's sources like energy and water, and will replace the dinosaur technologies of the
19th and 20th centuries. In this alone lies the possibility of human survival and
growth"
