How deep is your ecology?  Take a sounding.
     
Superficial      We should take good care of our planet,
                 as we would any valuable tool.
     
Shallow          We have a responsibility to protect Earth's
                 resources for our future generations.
           
Knee deep        Earth would benefit from changes in
                 human activity.
     
Hip deep         The planet would be better off with fewer
                 people on it.
     
Deep             Wilderness has a right to exist for its
                 own sake.
        
Deeper           Wildlife has more right to live on the Earth
                 than humans do.
            
Profoundly       Humans are too great a threat to life on 
Deep             Earth.  The species should be phased out.
        
Radically        Human extinction NOW or there won't be any later
Deep             for this planet.  A painless extermination is
                 desperately needed.
     
Abysmally        A quick annihilation is too good for humans.
Deep             A horrible, fatal illness from outer space is
                 only fair.
