“These sprays, dusts, and aerosols are now applied almost universally to farms, gardens, forests, and homes-nonselective chemicals that have the power to kill every insect, the 'good' and the 'bad,' to still the song of birds and the leaping of fish in the streams, to coat the leaves with a deadly film, and to linger on in soil-all this though the intended target may be only a few weeds or insects.

We must rejoin the great stream of life from whence we arose and strive to see within it the seeds of all we are and all we may become.”

I feel that the source from which the stream of madness is fed should be cut off and sealed before another year has passed.”
