"Now we face the question whether a still higher 'standard of living' is worth its cost in things natural, wild, and free."
Leopold means that we don’t recognize or acknowledge the beauties of nature until we find ourselves trying to do away with them, as Leopold said in the Forward section. I couldn’t agree more with Leopold’s statement. He states that “for us the minority, the opportunity to see geese is more important than television.” People may disagree with this quote, but I find viewing a flock of geese to be very graceful and calming and more epic to watch than most television shows these days.
