Friends of the Earth founder David Brower:  "We must reclaim the roads 
and the plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free 
shackled rivers, and return to wilderness tens of millions of acres 
of presently settled land."

-----------------

Prince Phillip of Great Britian: "If I were to be reincarnated, I would 
wish to return as a killer virus to lower human population levels."

-----------------

John Shuttleworth, Friends of the Earth: "The only real good technology is 
no technology at all.  Technology is taxation without representation, 
imposed by our elitiest species (man) upon the rest of the natural world."

-----------------

Paul Ehrlich in 'The Population Bomb': "We've already had too much economic
growth in the US. Economic growth in rich countries like ours is the 
disease, not the cure."

-----------------

Stewart Brand in the Whole Earth Catalog: "We have wished, we ecofreaks, 
for a disaster or for social change to bomb us into the stone age, where 
we might live like Indians in our valley, guilt free at last!"

-----------------

"Scientists who work for nuclear power or nuclear energy have sold their 
 soul to the devil.  They are either dumb, stupid, or highly compromised... 
 Free enterprise really means rich people get richer.  And they have the 
 freedom to exploit and psychologically rape their fellow human beings in 
 the process....Capitalism is destroying the earth.  Cuba is a wonderful 
 country.  What Castro's done is superb." 

 - Helen Caldicott, Australian pediatrician, speaking for the Union 
   of Concerned Scientists

-----------------

"We need to get some broad-based support, to capture public imagination. 
 That, of course, means getting loads of media coverage.  So we have to 
 offer up some scary scenarios, make some simplified dramatic statements 
 and little mention of any doubts one might have... Each of us has to 
 decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest."

- Steven Schneider, proponent of global warming and ozone depletion,
  at a 1989 Smithsonian conference on environmentalism:
 
-----------------

"We have got to stop science and scientific progress. . . Complicated facts
and issues - ignore them. Facts separate people. The enemy has facts and 
science. You cant fall into their trap by using the same language. Its not 
what moves people to action."

Abbie Hoffman

"The earth needs to be saved not so much from global warming,
 ozone depletion and rain-forest destruction as from the hordes
 of sanctimonious, self-appointed saviors who merchandise
 environmental panic..."
