Navigating Environmental Attitudes

Navigating Environmental AttitudesOne of the anomalies of modern ecology is that it is the creation of two groups each of which seems barely aware of the existence of the other.The one studies the human community almost as if it were a separate entity, and calls its findings sociology, economics, and history.The other studies the plant and animal community, [and] comfortably relegates the hodge-podge of politics to “the liberal arts.”The inevitable fusion of these two lines of thought will, perhaps, constitute the outstanding advance of the present century.Aldo Leopold, Berlin (1935)
