As I write project reports for Earthways regarding our support of the AFOPADI project in Guatemala, I am reviewing material on-line. Here is a resonating quote from the "Founder's Letter" by Andrew Beath at Earthways:
Economics can not come first. Economic decisions must be woven with ecological wisdom. To paraphrase Gary Snyder from his book, Earth House Hold, the word "ecology" means the planet as a "house and home" . This context should be the underlying essence of all economic decisions. We have polluted our home out of ignorance. Will we continue to spoil our nest? How will we be truly nurtured? The children of the planet are suffering.
I mention it because Andrew's words fit so well with our upcoming annual MELA Conference, "Healthy People, Healthy Profits, Healthy Planet."
