Weekly Response 2: You & Nature


(Green Roof. Vancouver, British Columbia)


Please consider how much you need the natural world.


I’m leaving this purposely open and ambiguous so that you each come up with your own definition of “need”/ “natural world” etc. and furthermore to define for WHAT you need/ don’t need the natural world. The first line in the foreward to a Sand Co. Almanac touches on this concept: “There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot” (vii, Leopold). Reflect on who is “telling you” that nature/the environment are important or not important to you and why.


Hopefully some of the skills/revelations from your observation paper will relate to this response and vica versa...-R
