While the flames of consumerism are heavily and constantly fanned and keep the masses enthralled with fast, easy and fun, a few of us see through it and do care about the future. Alas, while Berry is acknowledged as an astute thinker and exceptional writer, his writings attract a limited audience. I don't think humans will make meaningful change until the pain of a poisoned environment becomes ever present in their everyday lives.
