More Illuminating Quotes by US environmentalist, biologist Barry Commoner

Though the first quote I read by B. Commoner remains my favourite the three that follow are near the top of the pile:

“In every case, the environmental hazards were made known only by independent scientists, who were often bitterly opposed by the corporations responsible for the hazards.”

“The environmental crisis arises from a fundamental fault: our systems of production - in industry, agriculture, energy and transportation - essential as they are, make people sick and die.”

“The environmental crisis is a global problem, and only global action will resolve it.”

Dear Mr. Commoner,

I couldn’t agree more with your quotes.

Sincerely,

G. Harrison
