We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.

Environmental quality was drastically improved while economic activity grew by the simple expedient of removing lead from gasoline - which prevented it from entering the environment.

The first law of ecology is that everything is related to everything else.---->I dont believe in environmentalism as the solution to anything. What I believe is that environmentalism illuminates the things that need to be done to solve all of the problems together.

For that reason the simple test of the slogan 'Consume Less' as a basis for social action on the environment would be to tell it to the blacks in the ghetto. The message will not be very well received for there are many people in this country who consume less than is needed to sustain a decent life.

The environmental crisis is a signal of this approaching catastrophe.

If you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, you are looking the wrong way.

The proper use of science is not to conquer nature but to live in it.
