One of the overwhelming aspects of our question is its sheer size.  How can men wrap their minds around planet-sized problems?  Perhaps the most helpful approach to planetary care is not “big” or global, but rather small and local.  One author who has written and spoken a great deal on planet stewardship is the farmer-philosopher from Kentucky, Wendell Berry.  A farmer with quite a writing career, Berry has written poetry, fiction, and essays that expound on many of the issues covered in this course experience.  In the following interview, he states his view that we cannot possibly take care of the whole planet. Instead, we must call each person to care for his own place on the earth.  As you conclude this course experience and begin the conversation with others, consider these final thoughts.
