Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders.
Do not let selfish men and greedy interests skin
your country of its beauty, its riches, or its romance.
- Teddy Roosevelt
What good is a house,
if you haven't got a decent planet to put it on?
- Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
We abuse land because we regard it
as a commodity belonging to us.
When we see land as a community to which we belong,
we may begin to use it with love and respect.
- Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
