 Europe
is ahead of us, you could say. Many areas there were fairly densely
populated, experiencing the good and bad of economic, social and environmental
hustle and bustle, before the Mayflower reached Plymouth Rock, and long
before native peoples watched the first prairie schooners bounce into
Oregon. Is Europe a preview of where we may be heading?
Recently I spent three weeks in western Europe. I was concerned with
agricultural and forestry matters, but I had opportunities to see how
Europeans live, including passing through a German city that has won
awards for sustainability.
