“We also know His creations are good because He pronounced them, Himself, to be good in the account of the creation. God also ordained mankind to be a wise steward over the earth and all things on it and to treat his creations with proper respect and care. This means that we are to preserve the earth for future generations to enjoy and experience their much-needed mortal experience. We therefore have absolutely no right to wantonly extort, destroy, maim, damage, or alter any living thing or aspect of our environment.”
Eric Bjarnson Ph.D., Some Universals, Vol. 2: Intention and Attention

Edward Abbey
“Water, water, water... There is no shortage of water in the desert but exactly the right amount...unless you try to establish a city where no city should be.”
Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire
