Inhaltsangabe

Michael Paolisso argues that we have defined environmentalism too narrowly. Describing issues that face the Chesapeake Bay, such as excess nutrients from agriculture and the contentious blue crab fishery, he describes the ways in which we may misunderstand each other and therefore fail to join together in common purpose. Paolisso considers the ways in which farmers, watermen, scientists, and activists all value the environment. He argues that each group has its own set of deep-seated beliefs that form the foundations of their cultural models. Paolisso contends that because we discount the validity of different cultural models, we often neglect to include watermen, farmers, and others as environmentalists, and therefore fail to take full advantage of their own strong ethic for preserving both the soil and the Bay.
