In the book, Leopold becomes the first philosopher in the Western world to say ecosystems are worthy of moral consideration. "In the Western world that was a revolution," Keller said. Before this philosophy was born, animals had sometimes been treated like machines, he said. Leopold wrote that man was simply a part of the food chain. "What happened to our privilege of being at the top of the food chain, just below the angels?" Keller said. "We are in the food chain with bears and squirrels. He is looking at what our ecological importance is." This land ethic, as Leopold called it in the book, has ramifications for all human activity, Keller said. "We have fabricated 100,000 chemicals that do not occur in naturi" Keller said, referring to the Web site StoryofStuff.com, which Forum members viewed before Keller's speech.

"How can you argue with that?" Lebaron said. Rodeback said she would like to explore whether resi- dents would support both a tax increase for the library and an increase for recreation, arts and parks. Council members said they would like to propose the taxes to the public and hold hearings to gauge whether there is popular support. If the city wishes to hold hearings to change the property tax levy, the city must notify tie county by March 1, said city staffers. ' Crashes to combat those avoidable causes of traffic fatalities. Many people say zero fatalities is unattainable, Continued from Bl Courtney Continued from Bl Car-rill- something to celebrate, it does show great progress, especially if you consider how many more people are on our roads and how many more miles they are driving every day." In the press release, UDOT cited the top five causes of traffic fatalities as drowsy driving, distracted driving, aggressive driving, impaired driving and improper use of restraints. With its Zero Fatalities campaign, which began in 2006, UDOT seeks after disposal, and advocates for sustainable consumerism. In the end, Leopold teaches that an action can be judged as right when it preserves the community not the individual, Keller said. "We have a new ethic, and that ethic is that actions are right in so far as they are beneficial," Keller said. "It is a argument. Aldo Leopold is suggesting we found public policy not on economics but on ecology... Framing public policy only on economy is d and unwise, and - o said, but UDOT views it as a goal worth striving for.
