Gasland

Friday, June 25th, 2010

I don’t have HBO, so haven’t seen all of this, but here is the trailer to the movie everybody is talking about.  It’s certainly powerful stuff.  Depressing, but powerful.  Where’s Erin Brockovitch when you need her?

Anybody know if the whole thing is available on-line somewhere?

• Right vs. Wrong

  The direction is clear, and the first step is to THROW YOUR WEIGHT AROUND on matters of right and wrong in land use.

That philosophy is dead in human relations, and its funeral in land-use relations is overdue.

  Aldo Leopold, The Ecological Conscience (1947)
