Conservation can start at home.
With the collapse of talks on the Kyoto climate-change treaty, the Foleys ought to inspire everyone. More often than not, conservation must move from the personal to the political. The Clinton administration received 1.5 million pieces of electronic and paper mail entreating it to preserve 60 million acres of roadless forestland. Conservative Republicans have declared their intention to reverse that decision as part of an overall policy of exploiting natural resources on public lands. No matter what form your activism takes, when there's no end to it, politicians ignore you at their own peril.
