Earth Day

"This Earth Day, let's quit being extremists. That's what the U.S. economy relies on right now, and that's how the huge mineral and fossil fuel companies are making their money: extremism." -- Winona Laduke

A good companion to Wendell Berry: 

The economy is no god for me, for I have had too close a look at its wheels. I have seen it at work in the strip mines and coal camps of Kentucky, and I know it has no moral limits. It has always sacrificed the small to the large, the personal to the impersonal, the good to the cheap.
