Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land. By land is meant all of the things on, over or in the earth. Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.”
What do we mean by living in harmony with the earth? Does it mean that you never kill, that you live in a log cabin, that you don’t reproduce, that you own nothing? Of course it doesn’t. In practice, what it means is that each of us keeps trying (in our own ways and at our own pace) to lessen our impact upon the earth and its life.
