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 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.

In general, any productive activity which introduces substances foreign to the natural environment runs a considerable risk of polluting it.

All of the clean technologies are known, it's a question of simply applying them.

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.

Seen that way, the wholesale transformation of production technologies that is mandated by pollution prevention creates a new surge of economic development.

In nature, no organic substance is synthesized unless there is provision for its degradation; recycling is enforced.
