“We want it now – and if it makes money now it’s a good idea. But if the things we’re doing are going to mess up the future, it wasn’t a good idea. Don’t deal on the moment. Take the long-term look at things. It’s important that we do the right thing by the soil and the climate. History is of value only if you learn from it.”
-Wayne Lewis, Dust Bowl Survivor.
