The Pollution of Human Thought

A. The general pollution of matter, such as air, water and earth is a subject not only acknowledged by the industrial West, but also by such eastern countries as Japan and the Republic of China.
B. Many surprising and terrible predictions have been made concerning pollution, especially in the United States. For instance, the magazine Good Housekeeping (August 1970) contained an article entitled "Within a Generation It Will Be All Over for Man" which warned: "By 1980 or 1983 an air pollution catastrophe will kill thousands in some U.S. cities. By the mid-1980’s every man and woman and child in the hemisphere will have to wear a breathing helmet to survive outdoors. Most animals and plants will be dead. By the end of the 80’s the U.S. will begin to experience major ecological breakdowns of its soil and water. Plagues of new diseases—which humans cannot resist and which our medicine cannot cure—will rage. By 1990 those of us who are left will be living in doomed cities."
C. Motor vehicles, industrial processing, and power generating plants all contribute to air pollution. Tainted air rots nylon stockings, corrodes paint, steel and stone. Chemicals in the air stain skies as well as blacken wash on the line. Each year dirty air damages both crops and forests.
Many harmful substances from polluted air filter into water; solid wastes from the land pour into the sea; liquid sewage, sediment, manufacturing wastes, oil, and detergents are dumped directly into the water, even though it seems the water creatures die from such poisons in their environment. Indirectly, however, these poisons are often returned to man when he kills the creatures and eats their flesh. Likewise, long-lasting pesticides washed into streams, lakes and oceans also cause harm to mankind.
Plastics, glass, tins and aluminum cans litter the landscape. Nature recycles some of our solid wastes by the process of decay. Springs become silent; there will be no butterflies, no flowers, no birds in our beautiful globe once so beloved.
The United States is the first country which has become aware of pollution to such extent as to assemble 2,000 delegates from across the nation to participate in a conference on pollution control. Well-known U.S. Senators and representatives, top spokesmen from the U.S. Public Health Service, heading state and municipal pollution control officials plus top-level representatives from great private industries as well as ninety-two manufacturers and distributors were present. But no reliable solution or effective action ensued. It seems men have become accustomed to living with pollution and accepting it as their necessary destiny.
