QUOTES

"The fate of the living planet is the most important issue facing mankind."

Every person has the inalienable right to a decent environment.

We need a comprehensive and nationwide program to save the national resources of America.

We cannot be blind to the growing crisis of our environment. Our soil, our water, and our air are becoming more polluted every day. Our most priceless natural resources--trees, lakes, rivers, wildlife habitats, scenic landscapes--are being destroyed.

Our goal is an environment of decency, quality, and mutual respect for all other human creatures and for all living creatures. . .The battle to restore a proper relationship between man and his environment, between man and other living creatures will require a long, sustained, political, moral, ethical, and financial commitment - far beyond any effort made before.
