“The ‘environmental crisis’ has happened because the human household or economy is in conflict at almost every point with the household of nature. We have built our household on the assumption that the natural household is simple and can be simply used.”
…
“The first thing we need to teach our children (and learn ourselves) is that we cannot spend and consume endlessly. We have to learn to save and conserve. We do not need a ‘new economy’ but one that is founded on thrift and care, on saving and conserving, not on excess and waste. An economy based on waste is inherently and hopelessly violent, and war is its inevitable byproduct. We need a peaceable economy.”
