Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add
to what he's been given. But up to now he hasn't been a creator, only a
destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life's become
extinct, the climate's ruined and the land grows poorer and uglier every day.
Anton Chekhov, 1860-1904
