There are in our villages inexhaustible resources not for commercial purposes in every case but certainly for local purposes in almost every case. The greatest tragedy is the hopeless unwillingness of the villagers...
Page 44 - We have been massively intervening in the environment without being aware of many of the harmful consequences of our acts until they have been performed and the effects — which are difficult to understand and sometimes irreversible — are upon us.
