“We are not talking about esthetics. We are talking about life: survival of Man. We must train young people to get another vision of Nature. We call it 'wilderness,' and we think it is progress to get further and further away from it. How crazy! Where would we have been if Nature had not built us up?” PeopleIfsThinkingMenHas BeensYoungTalkingVisionProgressCrazySurvivalBuiltTrainEnvironmentalWildernessNot Talking Author:Thor Heyerdahl
“We must not only protect the country side and save it from destruction, we must restore what has been destroyed and salvage the beauty and charm of our cities ... Once our natural splendor is destroyed, it can never be recaptured. And once man can no longer walk with beauty or wonder at nature, his spirit will wither and his sustenance be wasted.” MenHas BeensCountrySpiritSidesNaturalWalksCitiesWonderProtectDestructionDestroyedCharmWildernessSplendorSustenanceSalvage Author:Lyndon B.
