The First Law Of Ecology Is That

In Nature, No Organic Substance Is Synthesized Unless There Is Provision For Its Degradation; Recycling Is Enforced.

The First Law Of Ecology Is That Everything Is Related To Everything Else.---->i Dont Believe In Environmentalism As The Solution To Anything. What I Believe Is That Environmentalism Illuminates The Things That Need To Be Done To Solve All Of The Problems Together.

Perhaps The Simplest Example Is A Synthetic Plastic, Which Unlike Natural Materials, Is Not Degraded By Biological Decay. It Therefore Persists As Rubbish Or Is Burned-in Both Cases Causing Pollution. In The Same Way, A Substance Such As Ddt Or Lead, Which Plays No Role In The Chemistry Of Life And Interferes With The Actions Of Substances That Do, Is Bound To Cause Ecological Damage If Sufficiently Concentrated.

My Entry Into The Environmental Arena Was Through The Issue That So Dramatically - And Destructively - Demonstrates The Link Between Science And Social Action: Nuclear Weapons.

When You Fully Understand The Situation, It Is Worse Than You Think.
