No, not that Thoreau. His distant relative, Mark Thoreau. He thinks that Henry would approve of the concept. He also thinks that many would be surprised that Henry, one of the original environmental activists, believed that a modern society could coexist with nature. As long as mankind realized that he was part of a larger whole. I think that's where we've gone off the track.
As we near the 40th Anniversary of the first Earth Day, it's probably time to recognize that some of us have gotten a little lazy in recent years. It's been a tough time. But the problems are bigger than ever, and the opposition more vocal and devious. Time to get off your ass and get busy.
