We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn allthings, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea beindefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.

Landscapes of great wonder and beauty lie under our feet and all around us. They arediscovered in tunnels in the ground, the heart of flowers, the hollows of trees, fresh-water

ponds, seaweed jungles between tides, and even drops of water. Life in these hidden worlds ismore startling in reality than anything we can imagine. How could this earth of ours, which isonly a speck in the heavens, have so much variety of life, so many curious and excitingcreatures?

You think man can destroy the planet? What intoxicating vanity. Let me tell you about our

planet. Earth is four-and-a-half-billion-years-old. There's been life on it for nearly that long,3.8 billion years. Bacteria first; later the first multicellular life, then the first complexcreatures in the sea, on the land. Then finally the great sweeping ages of animals, theamphibians, the dinosaurs, at last the mammals, each one enduring millions on millions of years, great dynasties of creatures rising, flourishing, dying away -- all this against a

background of continuous and violent upheaval. Mountain ranges thrust up, eroded away,cometary impacts, volcano eruptions, oceans rising and falling, whole continents moving, anendless, constant, violent change, colliding, buckling to make mountains over millions of years. Earth has survived everything in its time. It will certainly survive us. If all the nuclear weapons in the world went off at once and all the plants, all the animals died and the earthwas sizzling hot for a hundred thousand years, life would survive, somewhere: under the soil,

frozen in Arctic ice. Sooner or later, when the planet was no longer inhospitable, life wouldspread again. The evolutionary process would begin again. It might take a few billion yearsfor life to regain its present variety. Of course, it would be very different from what it is now,

but the earth would survive our folly, only we would not. If the ozone layer gets thinner,ultraviolet radiation sears the earth, so what? Ultraviolet radiation is good for life. It's

powerful energy. It promotes mutation, change. Many forms of life will thrive with more UVradiation. Many others will die out. Do you think this is the first time that's happened? Think about oxygen. Necessary for life now, but oxygen is actually a metabolic poison, a corrosiveglass, like fluorine. When oxygen was first produced as a waste product by certain plant cellssome three billion years ago, it created a crisis for all other life on earth. Those plants were

polluting the environment, exhaling a lethal gas. Earth eventually had an atmosphere

incompatible with life. Nevertheless, life on earth took care of itself. In the thinking of thehuman being a hundred years is a long time. A hundred years ago we didn't have cars,airplanes, computers or vaccines. It was a whole different world, but to the earth, a hundredyears is nothing. A million years is nothing. This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can't imagine its slow and powerful rhythms, and we haven't got the humility to try.We've been residents here for the blink of an eye. If we're gone tomorrow, the earth will notmiss us.

Were we to confront our creaturehood squarely, how would we propose to educate? Theanswer, I think is implied in the root of the word education, educe, which means "to drawout." What needs to be drawn out is our affinity for life. That affinity needs opportunities togrow and flourish, it needs to be validated, it needs to be instructed and disciplined, and itneeds to be harnessed to the goal of building humane and sustainable societies. Educationthat builds on our affinity for life would lead to a kind of awakening of possibilities and

potentials that lie dormant and unused in the industrial-utilitarian mind. Therefore the task of education, as Dave Forman stated, is to help us 'open our souls to love this glorious,luxuriant, animated, planet.' The good news is that our own nature will help us in the processif we let it.

strings of the catastrophe, so we can also save ourselves simply by changing our lives. Whatis really hard for us (at least in the West) to accept is that we are reduced to the role of a

passive observer who sits and watches what our fate will be. To avoid this impotence, weengage in frantic, obsessive activities. We recycle old paper, we buy organic food, we installlong-lasting light bulbs whatever just so we can be sure that we are doing something. Wemake our individual contribution like the soccer fan who supports his team in front of a TVscreen at home, shouting and jumping from his seat, in the belief that this will somehowinfluence the game's outcome.

No settled family or community has ever called its home place an environment. None hasever called its feeling for its home place biocentric or anthropocentric. None has ever thought of its connection t o its home place as ecological, deep or shallow. The conceptsand insights of the ecologists are of great usefulness in our predicament, and we can hardlyescape the need to speak of ecology and ecosystems. But the terms themselves areculturally sterile. They come from the juiceless, abstract intellectuality of the universitieswhich was invented to disconnect, displace, and disembody the mind. The real names of theenvironment are the names of rivers and river valleys; creeks, ridges, and mountains; towns

and cities; lakes, woodlands, lanes roads, creatures, and people.

And the real name of our connection to this everywhere different and differently named earthis work. We are connected by work even to the places where we dont work, for all placesare connected; it is clear by now that we cannot exempt one place from our ruin of another.The name of our proper connection to the earth is good work, for good work involves muchgiving of honor. It honors the source of its materials; it honors the place where it is done; it

honors the art by which it is done; it honors the thing that it makes and the user of the madething. Good work is always modestly scaled, for it cannot ignore either the nature of individual places or the differences between places, and it always involves a sort of religioushumility, for not everything is known. Good work can be defined only in particularity, for itmust be defined a little differently for every one of the places and every one of the workerson the earth.

The na me of our present societys connection to the earth is bad work work that is onlygenerally and crudely defined, that enacts a dependence that is ill understood, that enacts noaffection and gives no honor. Every one of us is to some extent guilty of this bad work. Thisguilt does not mean that we must indulge in a lot of breast-beating and confession; it meansonly that there is much good work to be done by every one of us and that we must begin to doit.

A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling,tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear thesetrees are now silent, their songs never cease. Every hidden cell is throbbing with music andlife, every fiber thrilling like harp strings, while incense is ever flowing from the balsam bellsand leaves. No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples, and the more they arecut down and hewn into cathedrals and churches, the farther off and dimmer seems the Lordhimself.

When asked if I am pessimistic or optimistic about the future, my answer is always thesame: if you look at the science about what is happening on earth and aren't pessimistic, youdon't understand the data. But if you meet the people who are working to restore this earthand the lives of the poor, and you aren't optimistic, you haven't got a pulse.

Odd as I am sure it will appear to some, I can think of no better form of personalinvolvement in the cure of the environment than that of gardening. A person who is growinga garden, if he is growing it organically, is improving a piece of the world. He is producingsomething to eat, which makes him somewhat independent of the grocery business, but he isalso enlarging, for himself, the meaning of food and the pleasure of eating.

At the end of the day, no amount of investing, no amount of clean electrons, no amount of energy efficiency will save the natural world if we are not paying attention to it - if we are not

What good is it to have wind-powered lights to brightenthe night if you can't see anything green during the day? Just because we can't sell shares innature doesn't mean it has no value.

A fuel pump is a fountain drink machine for cars. And people who want to save the

One thing about which fish know exactly nothing is water, since they have no anti-environment which would enable them to perceive the element they live in.

To reverse the effects of civilization would destroy the dreams of a lot of people.There's noway around it. We can talk all we want about sustainability, but there's a sense in which itdoesn't matter that these people's dreams are based on, embedded in, intertwined with, andformed by an inherently destructive economic and social system. Their dreams are still their dreams. What right do I -- or does anyone else -- have to destroy them.

At the same time, what right do they have to destroy the world? Derrick Jensen , Endgame, Vol. 1: The Problem of Civilization
