Just in case you thought concern over the future of the planet was a new phenomenon, consider this quote:
"Restoring nature to its natural state is a cause beyond party and beyond factions. It has become a common cause of all the people of this country. It is a cause of particular concern to young Americans, because they more than we will reap the grim consequences of our failure to act on programs which are needed now if we are to prevent disaster later."
The speaker? Richard Nixon, delivering the 1970 State of the Union address.
