Wholly owned
“The economy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the environment,” is inscribed on a slab in Portland’s Pearl District.
The quote is by Gaylord Nelson, a former Wisconsin governor and senator, who’s best known as one of the key founders of Earth Day.
This quote, and lots more, can be found outside the Jean Vollum Natural Capital Center (also known as the EcoTrust building) in Portland. Look on the east side of NW 9th Ave, between Irving and Johnson Streets.
