The Environment Protected

     'A land of milk and honey' *
       not to be exploited for money

     Goats and sheep were banned
       from grazing and ruining the land

     Bearded Sages, the environment protected
       the profit motive summarily rejected


    ___________________________________
     *Numbers 14:8; Deuteronomy 31:20.
       The Talmud records the ban on 
       goats, whose milk Ancient Israel
       was 'flowing with.'
