Aldo Leopold’s Epic Question
“Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher ‘standard of living’ is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free.”
~Aldo Leopold, Foreword to A Sand County Almanac (1949)
Do the needs of big industry trump the need to conserve our wilderness and those that inhabit it?
