The ECL is a wealth - almost overwhelming - of information.
Planning a garden is the first learning experience. I don't have a great relationship with food, but I do have a better one (as well as a decent understanding of) living things. (Most living things are essentially similar after all in the facts that they require fuel taken in, often but not always water to help use the fuel, and a waste disposal system.)
In regard to fuel in and waste out: Have you ever really thought about our relationship with trees and other plants? All air-breathing life on the planet, and much of the water-breathing life as well, is dependent on green growing things to provide the oxygen we need to live. Oxygen is their respiratory waste product - and one of ours, carbon dioxide, is a gas they need. Moving life can't survive without stationary life, and vice-versa.
Understanding basic facts like these help illustrate how principles promoted by various philosophies make logical sense. Of course we must steward the lives around us - mobile or not, we need them.
