HOLY SMOKES!!!!! I’D GIVE IT FIVE HUNDRED STARS IF I COULD
“We train ecologists in our universities and even employ them in our government agencies but we seldom take their advice. We allow the chemical death rain to fall as though there were no alternative, whereas in fact, there are many, and our ingenuity could soon discover many more of given opportunity.” CARSON IS THE B E S T.
“Future historians may well be amazed by our distorted sense of proportion. How could intelligent beings seek to control a few unwanted species by a method that contaminated the entire environment and brought the threat of disease and death even to their own kind? Yet that is precisely what we have done.” !!!!!!!!!!!
We’ve got PERMACULTURE, we’ve got INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT, we’ve got a CALL AGAINST BIOCIDES, we’ve got an EVOLUTIONARY JUSTIFICATION OF MODERN ACTION! Carson really included it all!! AND IN S I X PAGES NO LESS.
Paul Shepard quote: “ why should we tolerate a diet of weak poisons, a home in insipid surroundings, a circle of acquaintances who are not quite our enemies, the noise of motors with just enough relief to prevent insanity? Who would want to live in a world which is just not quite fatal?”
Jean Rostand quote: “The obligation to endure gives us the right to know”
