Edward Abbey/ The Monkey Wrench Gang

"Abbey insisted, to act as social Critic of ones country and culture, and as such to speak for the voiceless. And so he did, especially in the movement jeremiad with which he launched America's "ecodefense" movement.."

I really like this quote because i feel that is what a true environmentalist would say. I love how he described nature as the "voiceless"- because essentially they truly are. The environment does not speak like humans do, and in turn cannot defend themselves from human harm. Therefore, it is important that someone steps up to defend our environment and preserve it, or else if we keep harming it the way we do we wont have a natural environment for long.
