My entry into the environmental arena was through the issue that so dramatically - and destructively - demonstrates the link between science and social action: nuclear weapons.

It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics, atomic structure or biological inheritance.

What is needed now is a transformation of the major systems of production more profound than even the sweeping post-World War II changes in production technology.

The first law of ecology is that everything is related to everything else.

I see no reason to have my shirts ironed. It's irrational.

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 age of innocent faith in science and technology may be over.
