face in the near future. Only a few hundred years ago the world seemed so vast that little thought was given to the impact of human activities on the environment.
On May 28, 1892, John Muir founded the Sierra Club. In 1962, Rachel Carson wrote “Silent Spring,” exposing the dangers of pesticides on the environment. Just 53 years ago “Earth Day” was first celebrated on April 22 and is now a holiday around the world.
Humanists tend to be for measures that will protect the environment because they are concerned about what kind of planet they will leave for future generations.
