This is a copyrighted statement (printed on t-shirts for sale at the
lodge) by the Machan Jungle Lodge in the Rapti Valley of the Terai
lowlands south of the high Himalayas, in Nepal... Apropos of recent
discussion and comment about U.S. environmental legislation... human
greed... environmental politics... and such.
"Only when,
the last tree is cut down,
the last river is polluted,
the last fish is caught,
the last animal is extinct,
will it be firmly established,
that humans cannot eat money."
