Abstract
Chapter 6 delves into the topic of regard. In order to begin the process of reconciliation with the planet, mankind must first ask what is wrong with his broken relationship with the Earth. If man's first date with nature was one of wonder and awe, could it be that man now takes his beloved nature for granted? Perhaps his silent partner would like a say in how she is regarded, and especially in how she is treated. If so, what can man do to get back to that first love and shower the weeping Earth with affection? It turns out that the national park system may point the way back to conjugal bliss.
