SIGNOFF QUOTE[s]:
“There is hardly a place on Earth where people do not log, pave, spray, drain, flood, graze, fish, plow, burn, drill, spill or dump. There is no life zone, with the possible exception of the deep ocean, that we are not degrading. In poor countries biodiversity is being nickel-and-dimed to death; in rich countries it is being billion-dollared to death.” ~ Donella H. Meadows is an adjunct professor of environmental and policy studies at Dartmouth College, (from her article “Preserving Biodiversity Is Protecting Life on Earth : Environment: Why care about red squirrels, tundra, blue beetles or little bluestem grasses? Three reasons, which boil down to self-interest.”, Los Angeles Times May 13, 1990)
