Econation

America in Environmental Perspective

By: John C. Krieg

For all the big ideas of the new restorative environmental movement, perhaps it will be these little battles that will enable it to gain enough momentum to win the war. This could be that one small thing I was talking about in the preface. Wouldnt it be ironic if the battle of the American environmental movement was won by taking the country back one yard at a time?" Do as we say, dont do as we do has been an American environmental mandate to the rest of the world for far too long. The time is now at hand to lead by example, which means restoring our own homeland before we can encourage or expect the other nations of the world to restore theirs. With an emphasis placed on American accountability towards environmental problems rampant on American soil, Econation is a call to action in our own back yards.
