Why Shouldn’t We Blow Up Mountains??
Dear Fellow Beings,
If I live in California, why should I care if someone blows up a mountain in New York, just to mine it? It shouldn’t bother me, right?
I was watching a tv show, many moons ago, and wondered how the person being interviewed was going to answer this very question. The show was focused on following the day of a land caretaker. She was in some part of North America, watching over a watershed and once a week she would be flown over hundreds of acres of mountainous land to check on its state of health. She had been doing it for years. And so here, in this intimate moment on her front porch, the interviewer asked the big question… “why should I care?”
