Rachel Carson, early in 1963 in one of her last lectures before her death from cancer. “....I suppose it is rather a new, and almost a humbling thought, and certainly one born of this atomic age, that man could be working against himself. In spite of our rather boastful talk about progress, and our pride in the gadgets of civilization, there is, I think, a growing suspicion-indeed, perhaps an uneasy certainty-that we have been sometimes a little too ingenious for our own good. In spite of the truly marvelous inventiveness of the human brain, we are beginning to wonder whether our power to change the face of nature should not have been tempered with wisdom for our own good, and with a greater sense of responsibility for the welfare of generations to come"
.”Those who contemplate the beauty of the Earth find reserve of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. Rachel Carson.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
