His book describes the caricatures of Southerners as so desperate for jobs that they have given little thought to protecting the region\u0026rsquo;s environment. Yet in the decades after the Civil War southern businesspeople and public officials became preoccupied with the idea that there could be \u0026ldquo;permanent\u0026rdquo; ways of using the region\u0026rsquo;s dwindling natural resources. Rather than embracing a get-rich-quick strategy based on exploiting natural resources to depletion, southerners debated the most \u0026ldquo;permanent\u0026rdquo; ways to use and conserve their resources so that they would be available indefinitely. This talk explores the successes and failures of the South\u0026#39;s search for environmental permanence - one of the earliest attempts at sustainable development in the United States - and reflects on what this experience can tell us about the social and environmental aspects of sustainability today.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSc6LcLohFCyzLb8gu8C6EjgZ4NpCIhE3Nn-DmsrcQuWdvxZeg\/viewform?usp=sf_link\u0022\u003ERSVP to Attend\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECo-Sponsors of this event are the Ray C.
