I think the environment should be put in the category of our 
national security.  Defense of our resources is just as important
as defense abroad.  Otherwise what is there to defend?
	- Robert Redford

I really wonder what gives us the right to wreck this poor planet
of ours.
	- Kurt Vonnegut

We won't have a society if we distroy the environment.
        - Margaret Mead

Man shapes himself through decisions that shape his environment.
        - Rene Dubos

The first law of ecology is that everything is related to everything 
else.
        - Barry Commoner (1917-) US biologist, environmentalist

It isn't pollution that's harming the environment.
It's the impurities in our air and water that are
doing it.
        - Vice President J. Danforth Quayle

There's so much pollution in the air now that if
it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to 
put it all.
        - Robert Orben

We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging
to us. When we see the land as a community to which we belong,
we may begin to use it with love and respect.
        - Aldo Leopold (1887-1948) US forester, conservationist

The most alarming of all man's assaults upon the
environment is the contamination of air, earth, 
rivers, and sea with dangerous and even lethal materials. 
This pollution is for the most part irrecoverable; the 
chain of evil it initiates not only in the world that 
must support life but in living tissues is for the 
most part irreversible. In this now universal 
contamination of the environment, chemicals are the sinister 
and little-recognized partners of radiation in 
changing the very nature of the world--the very nature of its 
life.
        - Rachel Carson 1962

Good old days: Beer foamed and drinking water didn't.
