Answer #25
- Answer: Edward Abbey was an individual, a thinker, a philosopher, and an environmentalist who created the term “monkey-wrenching,” which was a practice of forcefully stopping the destruction of natural resources by damaging equipment. He was a self-proclaimed anarchist, and spent years in the desert working as a fire lookout for the National Parks Service. After his death in 1989, in a moment fitting with his autobiographical story, “Desert Solitaire,” Abbey was buried without a coffin in an unmarked space, dressed only in a sleeping bag.
