“The most alarming of all man's assaults upon the environment is the contamination of air, earth, rivers, and sea with dangerous and even lethal materials. This pollution is for the most part irrecoverable; the chain of evil it initiates not only in the world that must support life but in living tissues is for the most part irreversible. In this now universal contamination of the environment, chemicals are the sinister and little-recognized partners of radiation in changing the very nature of the world-the very nature of its life.” MenWorldLittlesEarthEvilNatureSupportEnvironmentAirSeaDangerousMaterialsRiversUniversalEnvironmentalPartnersChainsChemicalsRadiationPollutionEcologyAssaultTissuesSinisterInitiateIrreversibleSilent SpringContaminationEnvironmental Pollution Book:Silent Spring Source: Silent Spring

“The territorial body has been polluted by roads, elevators, etc. Similarly, our animal body starts being polluted. Ecology no longer deals with water, flora, wildlife and air only. It deals with the body itself as well. It is comparable with an invasion: technology is invading our body because of miniaturisation.” WellsHas BeensBodyWaterAnimalDealsTechnologyAirEtcEcologyInvasionWildlifeElevatorsInvadingTerritorialFlora Author:Paul Virilio
“Historically, very few discoveries were made out of thin air. Most of the greatest insights depended upon the intellectual ecology in which the scientists lived. A certain critical mass of "new findings" occurred, and bright people all over the world found out about it, and several read the tea leaves the same way.” PeopleWorldWayMadeCertainFoundAirFindingsMassIntellectualDiscoveryScientistInsightCriticalTeaEcologyThin AirCritical MassTea Leaves Author:John Medina
