Technology is a result of applied science education. Humans are making their environment toxic and unpleasant to live in. Undermine science education and one slows down the application of technology. The problem with this is that technology is often the solution to poorly-applied technology. The fear of dying in a nuclear holocaust is another reason why people distrust science education.

A citizenry with a science education will allow us to build a future worth living in.
