David Brower: Well I think one of the things to do is to join the effort to end the cutting of trees on public property for the time being until they straighten out. That's the easiest group to get to now because it's the land we own. It's a little harder to get people on private land to change their methods. We should work on all of this to get people who
have the Aldo Leopold attitude toward the land itself. Let's get a land ethic working. And we can't do that unless people want it to happen, and let's go. Let's get a land ethic alive.
