Become a Part of Tradition: 

 

Wisconsin has a long standing reputation for environmental advocacy and leaders.  The following are quotes from a few of the most famous environmentalists of all time, all of which had strong ties to Wisconsin and the University.  

 

"Our goal is not just an environment of clean air and water and scenic beauty. The objective is an environment of decency, quality and mutual respect for all other human beings and all other living creatures." - Gaylord Nelson 

 

“We abuse land because we see it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” - Aldo Leopold

 

"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

- John Muir
