Ecology Action on a Fringe-Urban Hillside

You cannot save the land apart from the people, or the people, apart from the land.

(Wendell Berry)

"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humour, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming."

- Goethe

Time will not be ours forever, he at length our goods will sever spend not then his gifts in vain

(Ben Jonson)
