Hundertwasser On Ecology
The relationship man - vegetation must become religious.
Only when you love the tree as yourself will you survive.
Only he who acts in harmony with plants and trees, who acts in accordance with the laws of nature and the cosmic cycle cannot go wrong.
It is your duty to use all means to help spontaneous vegetation be instated in its rights.
Homo-Humus-Humanitas, three fateful words having the same origin.
We must strive for a peace treaty with nature, the only superior creative power on which man depends.
Peace Treaty
with Nature 1983
1.
We must learn the language of nature in order to reach an understanding with her.
2.
We must give back territories to nature which we have misappropriated unlawfully and devastated, for example according to the principle: everything which is horizontal under the open sky belongs to nature.
3.
Tolerance of spontaneous vegetation.
4.
The creation of man and the creation of nature must be reunited. The schism of these creations has had catastrophic consequences for nature and man.
5.
Life in harmony with the laws of nature.
6.
We are only the guests of nature and must behave accordingly.
Man is the most dangerous pest ever to devastate the earth.
Man must put himself behind ecological barriers so that the earth can regenerate.
7.
Human society must again become a waste-free society.
For only he who honours his own waste and re-uses it in a waste-free society transforms death into life and has the right to live on this earth.Because he respects the cycle and allows the rebirth of life to occur.
A tree can be cut in five minutes,
But needs 50 years to grow.
That's the difference between
Technocratic destruction
And ecological evolution.
Wien / Vienna, 1978
