rower: values need change
People have forgotten where
the real show is in their world,
said conservationist David
Brower Tuesday afternoon.
In a Nebraska Union
Centennial Room speech,
Brower said that technology
and its products are receiving
people's attention instead of
nature.
Brower, a speaker in the
1971 Montgomery Lecture
Series, said that society has
glorified man's inquisitiveness
and quest for technological
progress. He indicated that a
change in values is a must if the
world is to see the 1980's.
The president of Friends of
Earth conservationist group,
Brower related the water, air
and land resources of the
planet to" a drop of water, an
even smaller water droplet and
a speck of dirt on the shell of
an egg.
''THESE FEW
resourses are the only
things that make the earth
unique from the moon," he
said. Brower also pointed to
the brief length of time it has
taken man to impair his
organic resources, compared to
the total time of man's
existence on earth.
"If the history of the earth
were a 25,000 mile journey
around the earth, the final six
feet of that journey would be
equivalent to the time span of
the industrial revolution to the
present," he said.
America's increasing
demand for natural resources
has not only had ecological
affects but has alienated
friends it once had in the
world. Brower noted that the
United States has six per cent
of the world population, but it
consumes 60 per cent of the
natural resources in the world.
The technological search for
more and more energy is the
biggest mistake the United
States is making, according to
Brower. He cited a need for
learning to use less energy in
the future, instead of trying to
find more energy sources.
"IF WE DON'T change our
course in the 70's, we won't
even have to worry about the
80's" Brower noted.
Population control is a starting
point in the demand for less
energy because the world will
need to get by with fewer
people to survive.
In citing solutions to some
of these problems, Brower
leveled much of the blame on
individual Americans. He
presented several proposals
which have been brought up by
elected officials to deal with
environmental problems.
Brower then asked his
audience whether anyone had
bothered to write his senator,
congressman, or the President
concerning their support for
these measures. One hand was
raised.
"It is the citizen's obligation
to write these people, a voice
from the public is necessary.
