Most men, it seems to me, do not care for Nature and would sell their share in all her beauty, as long as they may live, for a stated sum — many for a glass of rum. Thank God, men cannot as yet fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth!
"The anthropocene must be either well-managed or brief." Superb. Gonna try and work this into a job covering letter! (With appropriate acknowledgement of course!)
