After Gen X? Gen R?
Here is an article in the Guardian about the reclamation plans for Hetch Hetchy – the valley in the Sierra that John Muir thought more beautiful than Yosemite Valley.
When first told of plans to dam it he [Muir] replied: 'Dam Hetch Hetchy? [One might] as well dam for water tanks the people's cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man.'
What also captured our attention was the reference in the article about how reclamation of such environmental disasters will be the defining task of the generation of our children’s children
We can only hope that we have not set the bar to high.
