Leopold didn’t support the expansiveness of our growing community, such as, building
on the land in general. Leopold left his Land Ethic statement’s open for the reader to
come up with their own interpretation, that is most likely to increase the inner exploration
of our own morals upon the way we view and ultimately treat the land. Leopold had a
passionate understanding that this way we’re living won’t go away and shouldn’t
completely, but more importantly, there’s a required balance. The fact that we all go out
of our way to take hikes or camping trips just to submerged ourselves in nature and
escape “all of this” that we have created is a clear indication we all believe in a similar
ethic.
Biologically we’re one with nature (land/animals) but in the ways we’re not make
us human, setting humans far apart from sharing this said balance. The way we function
on a grand scheme shows that we’ve invented abstract things that have little importance
to those under expressed relationships to nature. That greater picture to life exists beyond
economic growth, the power hunger mindset is completely destructive to our balance we
have with land and animals. As Leopold explains with the concepts of economic self-
interest, it clouds our minds from the strength in our morals, that we might have if we
spent time appreciating what life is all about. We can’t begin to care unless we truly

though it only exists for us which is just simple-minded. When the Native
Americans hunted animals, they would ask the animal’s spirit for permission. I
believe at the very least if we sit for one whole day submerge in nature, just
meditate on the connection you feel just in the soil beneath your feet, that you’ll
gratification; we expect things to work quickly and get results fast. There’s no
doubt that people put money down for land as property to turn around and make
money, that usually goes without thinking about the ecological aspects.
4. This is really hard to answer for me; I think a lot about my connection to
nonhuman things and how I can’t do much by myself to increase the quality in our
relations with everything else already being as far gone as it is. I just want to
purchase a cabin in the woods away from everyone, maybe that way I would be
get away from it all. I dislike being around all this manmade stuff constantly.
Overall, you just spend sometime befriending nature and learning about it, you

places beautiful and I value that visual. Everything is super fresh and lush; all my

I’ve always had a very strong admiration for land and animals, I feel very connected
to everything around me. The relationship I share is a very spiritual one, I spend a lot
of time in nature, taking nemophilia related photography and really pay attention to
my senses. It allows me to really go deep inside myself and quiet all unimportant
things. Leopold thoroughly goes into depth about the issues behind the ethics on how
we treat the land. He put things into great perspective it had me reanalyzing my own
views. He speaks about how we rely on the government to fix our problems; we’ve
gained respect for each human right but not lands and even provided passages from
The Bible about the ethics on how to treat the land. I have mad respect for this
philosopher and would highly recommend this during a heated debate with someone
who carries strong morals for interests following economical growth instead of
ecological growth.
