Everything is connected to everything else. Everything must go somewhere. Nature knows best. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Because the global ecosystem is a connected whole, in which nothing can be gained or lost and which is not subject to over-all improvement, anything extracted from it by human effort must be replaced. Payment of this price cannot be avoided; it can only be delayed. The present environmental crisis is a warning that we have delayed nearly too long.

The AEC scientists were so narrowly focused on arming the United States for nuclear war that they failed to perceive facts - even widely known ones - that were outside their limited field of vision.

The modern technologist is less 'sorcerer' and more 'sorcerer's apprentice'.

Earth Day 1970 was irrefutable evidence that the American people understood the environmental threat and wanted action to resolve it.

When you fully understand the situation, it is worse than you think.

What is new is that environmentalism intensely illuminates the need to confront the corporate domain at its most powerful and guarded point - the exclusive right to govern the systems of production.
