Takers are all around us. We are all takers, especially in the industrialized world, to some extent. We use and abuse the world's ecosystem and resources to the point of collapse. We naively trust that scientific progress will enable us to keep taking from our environment indefinitely. Leavers exist usually in rural places around the planet. They are largely agricultural and subsistence farmers. Many, like perhaps the Amish, are religious and believe in myth-based stories. Takers are all around us.
