Quote of the day

"One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds.  Much of the damage inflicted on the land is invisible to layman.  An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise."

-Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
