    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Against Nature by John G. Nelson Quotations about the Environment. But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself. *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? — Rachel Carson (1907-1964), * Silent Spring , 1962. The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard. — Gaylord Nelson (1916-2005), former governor of Wisconsin, founder of Earth Day. It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly. — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), Christmas Eve sermon, 1967. A cry for survival comes from the planet itself. A cry that can't be any more desperate or any more clear. — President Joseph R. Biden (1942-), Inaugural Address, January 20, 2021. The Congress, the Administration and the public all share a profound commitment to the rescue of our natural environment, and the preservation of the Earth as a place both habitable by and hospitable to man. — President Richard Nixon (1913-1994), "Reorganization Plan No. 3," message to Congress about establishing EPA, July 1970. More about the origins of EPA.
