“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Alas, Poor David, I Thought I Knew Him, Horatio


Wow. I read on David Monbiot's blog that David Bellamy, English childhood eco-hero, is now a global warming denier.

What happened? Who bought him off?

I so vividly remember Bellamy's children's show about the ecology of back gardens, during which he shrank down to miniature size through old school TV trickery. Beautiful stuff.
