P&P Masthead

“By and large, our present problem is one of attitudes and implements. We are remodeling the Alhambra with a steam-shovel, and we are proud of our yardage. We shall hardly relinquish the shovel, which after all has many good points, but we are in need of gentler and more objective criteria for its successful use.”

Aldo Leopold A Sand County Almanac, 1949

About People and Place

P&P hosts an inquiry on ideas that connect us.

We track inspirations on the wire, and we gather perspectives and media on specific topics.

P&P issue #1 was devoted to resilience thinking and #2 to social and ethical reflections on climate change.

P&P publisher Ecotrust believes that our fundamental challenge is understanding the intimate relationship between the human condition and the health of all living systems. Although P&P covers topics related to Ecotrust's work, all P&P writings are solely attributable to individual authors.

Howard Silverman is P&P editor. He has worked with Ecotrust since 1999, currently as senior writer and analyst.
