The Value of Nature?

I found this quote on Andrew Sullivan's blog and thought I'd share it here...

"A wrong attitude towards nature implies somewhere a wrong attitude towards God, and the comnsequence is an inevitable doom. For a long enough time, we have believed in nothing but the values arising in a mechanised, commercialised, urbanised way of life: it would be as well for us to face the permanent conditions upon which God allows us to live upon this earth," - T. S. Eliot, "The Idea of a Christian Society," 1939.
