"We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects . . . We must reclaim the roads and the plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions and tens of millions of acres of presently settled land.'' - David Foreman, Earth First!
"People are the cause of all the problems; we have too many of them; we need to get rid of some of them, and this (ban of DDT) is as good a way as any.'' - Charles Wurster, Environmental Defense Fund.
"Giving society cheap, abundant energy . . . would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.'' Paul Ehrlich, Stanford.
