Answer 2

The earth dries up and withers,

the world languishes and withers;

the heavens languish together with the earth.

The earth lies polluted under its inhabitants;

for they have transgressed laws, violated the statutes

broken the everlasting covenant.

Therefore a curse devours the earth,

and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt. -the prophet Isaiah (c.760-690 B.C.)

Isaiah 24:4-6 in the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible : For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death. -Rachel Carson (1907-1964), Silent Spring, 1962 : As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill. -Helen Keller (1880-1968) : Ecological devastation is the excrement, so to speak, of man's power worship. -Ernest Becker (1924-1974), Escape from Evil, 1975 * : The quality of American life is an insult to the possibilities of human growth . . . the pollution of American space, with gadgetry and cars and TV and box architecture, brutalizes the senses, making gray neurotics of most of us, and perverse spiritual athletes and strident self-transcenders of the best of us. -Susan Sontag, "What's Happening in America"

in Partisan Review, 1966 : Chemical contamination starts in the womb. Even before a baby takes a breath, her body contains chemicals passed on by her mother. Tests of umbilical cords show that a newborn's body contains nearly 300 compounds -- among them mercury from fish, flame retardants from household dust, pesticides from backyards, hydrocarbons from fossil fuels. -Marla Cone, "Products derived from natural, nontoxic ingredients -

once seen as fringe -- are now mainstream,"

Los Angeles Times, 14 Sept 2008 : Who would have predicted a century ago that the richest civilizations in history would be made up of polluted tracts of suburban development dominated by the private automobile, shopping malls, and a throwaway economy? Surely, this is not the ultimate fulfillment of our destiny. -Alan Durning, How Much Is Enough?, 1992 : Suburbs...have become the heirs to their cities' problems. They have pollution, high taxes, crime. People thought they would escape all those things in the suburbs. But like the people in Boccaccio's Decameron, they ran away from the plague and took it with them. -Charles Haar, New York Times, 16 Mar 80 : Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet? -Ezekiel 33:18-19 NIV Bible : The people have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and aesthetic values of the environment. Pennsylvania's public Natural Resources are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come. As trustee of these resources the Commonwealth shall conserve and maintain them for the benefit of all the people. -the Pennsylvania State Constitution, Article 1, section 27 : They have poisoned the Thames and killed the fish in the river. A little further development of the same wisdom and science will complete the poisoning of the air, and kill the dwellers on the banks...I almost think it is the destiny of science to exterminate the human race. -Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866), Gryll Grange, 1860 * : You know that the air and water are being polluted, as is everything we touch and live with, and we go on corrupting the nature that we need. We don't realize we have a commitment to God to take care of nature. To cut down a tree, to waste water when there is so much lack of it, to let buses poison our atmosphere with those noxious fumes from their exhausts, to burn rubbish haphazardly - all that concerns our alliance with God. -Oscar Romero (1917-1980), The Violence of Love, March 11, 1979 : Man was the outlaw, the rebel, the distorted shape that scarred the earth, the voice that silenced the music of Eden, the hand that raised up obscenities and blasphemies. Man was the pariah-dog, the moral leper in this translucent mirror of Heaven. He was the muddier of crystal waters, the despoiler of forests, the murderer of the innocent, the challenger against God. He was the assassin of the saints and the prophets, for they spoke of what he WOULD NOT HEAR, in the darkness of his spirit! -Taylor Caldwell (1900-1985) : A dense blanket of pollution, dubbed the "Asian Brown Cloud," is hovering over South Asia, with scientists warning it could kill millions of people in the region, and pose a global threat. In the biggest-ever study of the phenomenon, 200 scientists warned that the cloud, estimated to be two miles (three kilometers) thick, is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths a year from respiratory disease. By slashing the sunlight that reaches the ground by 10 to 15 percent, the choking smog has also altered the region's climate, cooling the ground while heating the atmosphere, scientists said on Monday. The potent haze lying over the entire Indian subcontinent -- from Sri Lanka to Afghanistan -- has led to some erratic weather, sparking flooding in Bangladesh, Nepal and northeastern India, but drought in Pakistan and northwestern India. Marianne Bray, "'Asian Brown Cloud' poses global threat,"

CNN.com 12 Aug 02 : The American people today are involved in a warfare more deadly than the war in Vietnam, but few of them seem aware of it and even fewer of them are doing anything about it. This is a war that is being waged against the American environment, against our lands, air, and water, which are the basis of that environment. -Norman Cousins (1915-1990)

Testimony before the U.S. Senate Public Works Subcommittee,

June, 1966 * : Like a muddied spring or a polluted well

is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked. -Proverbs 25:26 NIV Bible : How would you describe the difference between modern war and modern industry-between say, bombing and strip mining, or between chemical warfare and chemical manufacturing? The difference seems to be only that in war the victimization of humans is directly intentional and in industry it is "accepted" as a "trade-off." Were the catastrophes of Love Canal, Bhopal, Chernobyl, and the Exxon Valdez episodes of war or of peace? They were in fact, peacetime acts of aggression, intentional to the extent that the risks were known and ignored. -Wendell Berry, "Feminism, the Body, and the Machine"

from What Are People For?, 1989 : The Public Relations Committee realizes that public fear of chemicals is a disease which will never be completely eradicated. It may lie dormant or appear from time to time as a minor rash, but it can flare up at any time as a major and debilitating fever for our industry as a result of a few, or even one instance, such as the Mississippi fish kill, or the publication by some highly readable alarmist, or as an issue seized upon by some politician in need of building a crusading image. -Cleveland Lane,

member of the Chemical Industry's Public Relations Committee

while working for Goodrich-Gulf Chemicals Inc., 1964
