After reading “The Land Ethic” by Aldo Leopold I found that his research and understanding of land ethics is very thorough and he makes valid points that should be read by everyone in our society. He gives a different outlook on land that makes sense and creates a vivid image of the way that we as human should view land. He describes land as not just soil that lies beneath our feet or below the plants that we walk on‚ cut‚ or eat‚ but as the first layer in a community of which each piece is dependent

Responsive Paper Three Cups of Tea Mortenson’s New York Times bestseller Three Cups of Tea challenged me in many different areas and gave me a different outlook on the way other countries deal with poverty. To me the most challenging thing to understand about the book is how someone like Mortenson can go from a mountaineer to being such a great humanitarian. God’s plan for Mortenson wasn’t to be a mountaineer at all; his plan for him was to do great things in impoverished countries. The way that

Aldo Leopold presents many interesting aspects regarding ecology and conservation within his writing of the Land Ethic‚ Round River‚ and “Think like a Mountain”. One statement that stood out among the rest was “Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish the right hand and chop off his left". The land is much like the human body—if one part is damaged or sick‚ the effects can be witnessed elsewhere. Like a cancer that attacks the cells‚ the effect of pollution‚ overhunting
