Environmental Action

Abstract

“Most of the politicians and businessmen who are jumping on the environmental bandwagon clearly do not have the slightest idea what they are getting into. They do not yet understand that we see this as a long and serious fight for a profound change in what this country is all about. They are talking about emission control devices on automobiles; we are talking about bans on automobiles. They are bursting with pride over plans for inadequate municipal waste treatment plants; we are challenging the ethics of a society that, with only seven per cent of the world's population, accounts for more than half of the world's annual consumption of raw materials.”
