We need to understand the whole system of natural resources to innovate sustainably.  There are many layers to understanding complex natural relationships -- ecosystems.  Start with energy conversion.  From soil and water to living plant.  From living plant to caterpillars to a bird's stomach - protein conversion.  Then burn those plants. And the complex nutrients in the soil.  You get fuel for our cars and energy for our homes, but the net loss to the natural systems is...?
