Dangerous myths emerged in the vacuum of history. For example:

• That one book -- Rachel Carson's Silent Spring -- started all the uproar;
• That environmentalism is just an hysterical reaction to science and technology;
• That environmentalism is a passing fad with no serious ideas to offer.

The myths call us like sirens, telling us that environmental issues can be safely ignored. Nothing could be further from the truth.

This educational website is just a starting point for people who would like to learn more about the wide variety of environmental issues and green crusaders in history.
