A land ethic for tomorrow should...stress the oneness of our resources and the live-and-help-live logic of the great chain of life.

Admittedly, we must move ahead with the development of our land resources. Likewise, our technology must be refined. But in the long run life will succeed only in a life-giving environment, and we can no longer afford unnecessary sacrifices of living space and natural landscape to 'progress.'

Society as we know it is almost a conspiracy against human health. One of the main forces working to counteract that is the trailsman.

Plans to protect air and water, wilderness and wildlife are in fact plans to protect man.

I dont remember a big fight between the Republicans and Democrats in the Nixon administration or President Gerald Ford and so on.

Washington's a cesspool of money.

If, in our haste to 'progress,' the economics of ecology are disregarded by citizens and policy makers alike, the result will be an ugly America. We cannot afford an America where expedience tramples upon esthetics and development decisions are made with an eye only on the present.
