When You Fully Understand The Situation, It

We Are In An Environmental Crisis Which Threatens The Survival Of This Nation, And Of The World As A Suitable Place Of Human Habitation.

The Modern Assault On The Environment Began About 50 Years Ago, During And Immediately After World War Ii.

Science Is Triumphant With Far-ranging Success, But Its Triumph Is Somehow Clouded By Growing Difficulties In Providing For The Simple Necessities Of Human Life On Earth.

In General, Any Productive Activity Which Introduces Substances Foreign To The Natural Environment Runs A Considerable Risk Of Polluting It.

Finally, Since Human Beings Are Uniquely Capable Of Producing Materials Not Found In Nature, Environmental Degradation May Be Due To The Resultant Intrusion Into An Ecosystem Of A Substance Wholly Foreign To It.
