Listening to Wendell Berry in conversation with Michael Pollan on City Arts and Lectures on NPR.
Early on he mentioned something about this new or revived interest in sustainability and interpreted it as society recognizing the need for good things to last. As wrapped up as I've been in agriculture, food politics and environmentalism lately, something about that definition strikes me.
It obviously applies to the usual natural resources, tools that aren't instantly obsolete, and workers treated fairly, but it reminds me of how easy it's become to let a good thing go, like love and human relationships, as if we don't need anything, but I believe we do. I believe we do.
