'The Earth does not belong to us: we belong to the Earth.
And all things are connected. Whatever happens to the Earth
,
happens to us. We did not weave the web o f life. We are only a
strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves
. '

cannot eat money”, what is he implying about our attitude
towards the environment? Do you agree with the C hiefs
