If Environmentalism Is A Fad,

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.

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.

Seen That Way, The Wholesale Transformation Of Production Technologies That Is Mandated By Pollution Prevention Creates A New Surge Of Economic Development.

The Age Of Innocent Faith In Science And Technology May Be Over.

The First Law Of Ecology Is That Everything Is Related To Everything Else.
