“Only within the 20th Century has biological thought been focused on ecology, or the relation of the living creature to its environment. Awareness of ecological relationships is - or should be - the basis of modern conservation programs, for it is useless to attempt to preserve a living species unless the kind of land or water it requires is also preserved. So delicately interwoven are the relationships that when we disturb one thread of the community fabric we alter it all - perhaps almost imperceptibly, perhaps so drastically that destruction follows.” ShouldKindWaterCommunityEnvironmentModernLandCenturyAwarenessCreaturesProgramDestructionBasesRelationSpeciesFocusedUselessPreservesThreadFabricEcologyConservation20th CenturyEcologicalLiving Creatures Author:Rachel Carson

“The United States has more people living in poverty than at almost any time in the modern history of our country.
