It can only be prevented  (Barry Commoner Quotes) I see no reason to have my shirts ironed. It’s irrational  (Barry Commoner Quotes) The environmental crisis is a global problem, and only global action will resolve it  (Barry Commoner Quotes) The proper use of science is not to conquer nature but to live in it  (Barry Commoner Quotes) It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics, atomic structure or biological inheritance  (Barry Commoner Quotes) If you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, you are looking the wrong way  (Barry Commoner Quotes) The most meaningful engine of change, powerful enough to confront corporate power, may be not so much environmental quality, as the economic development and growth associated with the effort to improve it  (Barry Commoner Quotes) Sooner or later, wittingly or unwittingly, we must pay for every intrusion on the natural environment  (Barry Commoner Quotes) 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  (Barry Commoner Quotes) Environmental concern is now firmly embedded in public life: in education, medicine and law; in journalism, literature and art  (Barry Commoner Quotes) The weapons were conceived and created by a small band of physicists and chemists; they remain a cataclysmic threat to the whole of human society and the natural environment  (Barry Commoner Quotes) The wave of new productive enterprises would provide opportunities to remedy the unjust distribution of environmental hazards among economic classes and racial and ethnic communities  (Barry Commoner Quotes) What I have experienced over time is that environmental problems are easier to deal with in ways that don't go into their interconnections to the rest of what we are  (Barry Commoner Quotes) Finally, since human beings are uniquely capable of producing materials not found in nature, environmental degradation may be due to the resultant intrusion into an ecosystem of a substance wholly foreign to it  (Barry Commoner Quotes) Recycling is a good thing to do. It makes people feel good to do it. The thing I want to emphasize is the vast difference between recycling for the purpose of feeling good and recycling for the purpose of solving the trash problem  (Barry Commoner Quotes) Everything is connected to everything else. Everything must go somewhere. Nature knows best. There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you don’t put something in the ecology, it’s not there  (Barry Commoner Quotes) We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation  (Barry Commoner Quotes) If you ask what you are going to do about global warming, the only rational answer is to change the way in which we do transportation, energy production, agriculture and a good deal of manufacturing. The problem originates in human activity in the form of the production of goods  (Barry Commoner Quotes) In nature, no organic substance is synthesized unless there is provision for its degradation; recycling is enforced  (Barry Commoner Quotes) All of the clean technologies are known, it’s a question of simply applying them  (Barry Commoner Quotes) In certain ways, I’m not very different than I was when I was a teenager  (Barry Commoner Quotes) The gap between brute power and human need continues to grow, as the power fattens on the same faulty technology that intensifies the need  (Barry Commoner Quotes) In general, any productive activity which introduces substances foreign to the natural environment runs a considerable risk of polluting it  (Barry Commoner Quotes)
