We Are Prodigal People When Viewing Our Role As Stewards oOf Our Planet

Henri Rousseau

File:Henri Rousseau - The Flamingoes.jpg


We have inherited an incredibly beautiful and complex garden, but 
the trouble is that we have been appallingly bad gardeners. 


We have not bothered to acquaint ourselves with the simplest 
principles of gardening. 


By neglecting our garden, we are storing up for ourselves,
in the not very distant future, a world catastrophe as bad as any
atomic war, and we are doing it with all the bland complacency of an
idiot child chopping up a Rembrandt with a pair of scissors.


--Gerald Durrell
