Environmental Devastation

Uniquely painful to our generation? Which is both acutely aware of it and tasked with responsibility for it. We may be the last generation to remember (insular though our outlook may have been, but mainstream was insular) an environment seemingly not under threat, as a refuge of the eternal and regenerative. As in, the mtns could cure you, make you see the thing of beauty and strength in yourself. Now the mtns are ailing, as with everything else, and the prevailing public mind (in this country) is not to care, to be "real". While to me the real is fast disappearing.
