Back to the Future April 22, 2000. The objective was to get a nationwide demonstration of concern for the environment so large that it would shake the political establishment out of its lethargy and, finally, force this issue permanently onto the national political agenda. It was a gamble, but it worked. The Trouble with Earth Day It has not worked. New chemicals are still being created every twenty minutes with no toxicity information available.
Conservation is more conversation than action.
Large groups pour money into projects like saving whales, dolphins, spotted owls and other endangered species, trying to close the barn door after the horse has been missing for years. What is missing from the picture is us. Earth, animals and man are connected intimately. The whale is us, the tree is us. If a chemical is put out there, it will end up in us.
