conserve? preserve?



several years ago in an interview with al hodge, one of the questions he asked me was did i know the difference between conservation and preservation (in regard to wetlands)? well, i didn't. and although he explained it to me, still i get them confused.

well i found a great statement explaining the difference today, and thought i'd share it (just in case any of you sit around pondering the difference between conservation and preservation...)

"conservation is the equivalent of a coronary bypass, 
while preservation is the equivalent of jogging and
eating lots of vegetables."

  1. Hmm... I can see how you might have been confused... (j/k, mostly... ;) )

    AH comes up with some great, quotable one-liner similes and metaphors, though... One quoted around the office often, particularly by 'Berto, is "I don't wanna wrassle that alligator"...
