There was a lot of material in this reading, some of it which was hard for me to tie together. Land ethics is all about protecting out world and finding ways to make our resources last. We learned we were came from and we can see where we are going if nothing changes. There are many people out there making many small efforts to help out land, although these small efforts are great without the backing of a majority of our population they are making little impact. The most important thing we can do is learn about our lands, learn everything we can, take the knowledge we gain, and use it to benefit our futures. I feel that although each time we destroy habitats and they grow back in a lessor status we cannot blame ours community. For example, it is our fault when reckless individuals destroy habitats by disconcern, but when farmers destroy local water sources or pollute our water tables I do not feel they are to blame because our government has not given the aid or resources to be able to use and afford cleaner methods to care for crops. It is important to understand that we must take care of our planet because without our resources we will no longer exist. Our resources include our rivers, soils, plants, and animals; if any one of these resources became fully tainted we would be in a situation of urgency, if not facing a loss of future. It is sad how many plants and animals we have already lost because of loss of habitat, I wish it were easier to prevent it, but without the world’s money supporting the cause it will be a slow and small effort.
