Quotes made by scientists, periodicals and leaders from the first Earth Day 1970...

Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.

? Peter Collier,
Mademoiselle
, April 1970
 

By 1975 some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.
? Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist, essay
Eco-Catastrophe!
 

It is already too late to avoid mass starvation.
? Denis Hayes, chief organizer for Earth Day, Spring 1970 issue

Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions. By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.
? Peter Gunter, professor, North Texas State University
 

Air pollution is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.
? Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
 

Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support?the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution? by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half.

Okay, who took over Bender's account?... Since when has he been so welcoming, nice and polite, esp. to newcomers? :p A lot of you were ******** to me when I first came around.
Let's reminisce, Bender banned me for no good reason if I remember correctly. JAW was a vulgar prik. Manic Monday was a major ***** for no reason. Cloaked thought I was a dude impersonating a girl. That's all I can remember for now. There was probably more. And others, were probably always nice and respectful from the get go like Snaf, OS... :)
