About this Quote

This quote by Gaylord Nelson highlights the drastic changes that have actually occurred to the environment in the past 42 years. He is describing the introduction of loads of chemicals and hazardous wastes into the atmosphere, which did not exist in 1948. This has had a detrimental result on the environment, resulting in a far worse condition than it was 42 years back. This is a plain pointer of the damage that people have caused to the world, and the need for us to do something about it to safeguard the environment.
