Letters: Can women save Earth?

Re “Women greener than men?,” Opinion, June 13

Women historically have been the nurturers, the caregivers. Of course they would have greater sensitivity to the environment’s effect on humans.

Will the caveman macho mentality of most men (and many women) finally mature into responsible stewardship of the Earth? My guess is not until the damage humans have done smacks us more directly in the face. That’s a sorry legacy to leave to our next generations.
