Aldo Leopold was born OTD in 1887. “We abuse land because we see it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” #HpBio #HistSTM 🌎 #philsci #STS 🧪

I feel this way too. I feel I should be posting about #hpbio, environmental ethics, conservation, 🌎 etc. And sometimes I do post on those things. But all of that depends on a functioning democracy & we don’t have one right now. Plus direct threats to the envt from 🪚&🍊. I guess this is my “apology.”
