“The control of Nature” is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and philosophy when it was supposed that Nature exists for the convenience of Man.”
~ Rachael Carson

Then in ecological teachings and outdoor recreation they teach “minimal impact” respect for the Natural environment:
.
“Take nothng but pictures, kill nothing but time, leave nothing but footprints.”
.
“The purist ecological approach remains a world away from all manner of industrial reality down the road.”
-Ed.
