”More concretely, no transformation without our feet on the ground. Stewardship means, for most of us, find your place on the planet, dig in, and take responsibility from there - the tiresome but tangible work of school boards, county supervisors, local foresters - local politics. Even while holding in mind the largest scale of potential change. Get a sense of workable territory, learn about it, and start acting point by point. On all levels from national to local the need to move toward steady state economy - equilibrium, dynamic balance, inner-growth stressed - must be taught."

From a footnote in "Four Changes" by Gary Snyder ( 1970 )
