Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to examine the roots of our obligation to preserve the land and its resources, to address in some systematic way the "So what?" response to the massive documentation of environmental dete rioration and the accompanying environmentalist imperatives. We will begin with an exercise in deconstruction?the parsing of an event, just one event, to extract from its account some of the problems that environmental ism has got itself into, especially in dealing with the multiple faces of American business.
