Nature, society, economy

If the economy collapses, society and nature might still survive. If society falls, it takes the economy with it yet nature can still survive. But if nature: the ecosystems of the planet, the biodiversity, and the climate as we know it today collapses, then everything falls apart. The social and economic systems we have built cannot exist independently from the environment. Therefore, in a conflict between these three systems, nature must always come first.
