            On February 21, at about 7:30pm Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker presented a lecture at the NDNU church about the environment.  Before she spoke the audience was informed of her background education from Yale University and how she majored in Environmental studies.  Her entire lecture was devoted to informing the audience of how the environment needs tender care.  She mentioned how humans and the earth go hand in hand.  What she meant was that humans are guests on the earth where humans should give the land more respect.  My understanding of the lecture was similar to the Native American beliefs of how humans must respect the land.  There was much value in the comparison of humans and the earth.  Her presentation was smooth and she spoke passionately about her views on how the environment depends on humans.
