DANIEL BURNHAM
Burnham was an early environmentalist,
writing: "Up to our time, strict economy in the use of natural
resources has not been practiced, but it must be henceforth unless we
are immoral enough to impair conditions in which our children are to
live," although he also believed that the automobile
would be a positive environmental factor, with the end of horse-based
transportation bringing "a real step in civilization ... With no smoke,
no gases, no litter of horses, your air and streets will be clean and
pure. This means, does it not, that the health and spirits of men will
be better?" Like many men of his time, he also showed an interest in the
supernatural, saying "If I were able to take the time, I believe that I
could prove the continuation of life beyond the grave, reasoning from
the necessity, philosophically speaking, of a belief in an absolute and
universal power."[49]
