A trip to Europe on liners that do not dump their bilgewater? Gasoline from capped wells? Listening to the Wolf ALDO LEOPOLD SPENT MUCH OF HIS life worrying about the connections between the natural, civic and economic worlds. That thinking began with his conviction that so many elements of the natural world were linked in ways that people could not fully understand. His essay “Thinking Like a Mountain,” which he wrote in two days, captured this belief: A deep chesty bawl echoes from rimrock to rimrock, rolls down the mountain, and fades into the far blackness of the night.
Even if incentives and ingenuity have combined to feed more hungry people, these forces cannot replace natural resources once they are lost. Overpopulation, consumerism and resource depletion will be our undoing, the Malthusians conclude with a certainty unfazed by what they see around them. In their book Free Market Environmentalism, Terry L. Anderson and Donald R. Leal explained the assumptions of the Malthusian outlook: The feeling that markets and the environment do not mix is buttressed by the perception that resource exploitation and environmental degradation are inextricably linked to economic growth.
His teachings are being rediscovered and embraced by a “hands-on” environmental movement eager to chart a renewed democratic course. ALDO LEOPOLD BELIEVED IN CONSERVATION and in people’s capacity to become interested in and considerate of living things in the world around them. Throughout his long career, he dedicated himself to proving that people—acting individually or collectively, and given proper incentives—could do more good for their natural surroundings than rows of statute books, stacks of legal briefs or roomfuls of bureaucrats.
