ConservationAn excerpt from Conservation is Good Work by Wendell Berry that I was reading this morning...
Most of us get almost all the things we need by buying them; most of us know only vaguely, if at all, where those things come from; and most of us know not at all what damage is involved in their production. We are almost entirely dependent upon an economy of which we are almost entirely ignorant. The provenance, for example, not only the food we buy, but of the fertilizers, fuels, and other materials necessary to grow, harvest, transport, process, and package it, is almost necessarily a mystery to us.
And we wonder why the U.S. economy is hurting.
