Editor:
The best news to come to us recently came in the report of Professor Doug Tallamy’s talk on the environmental crisis at Berks Nature’s annual State of the Environment program (“ ‘Small efforts,’ ” Reading Eagle, Nov. 5).
His talk was received by an audience of more than 300 people, one third of whom were high school and college students. The message: That there are small things that all of us are able to do for the protection and preservation of our world.
There are enormous challenges confronting young people coming up today related to the environment, in the next half-century, and we can never say the job is finished.
Naturalist John Muir told us, “When we try to pick out anything (in nature) by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.”
