Cribb, who spoke in Shepparton last year, is now warning us
about our addiction to chemicals; chemicals that threaten to end all life on
earth.
He has written about our pervasive and dangerous use of chemicals
in a piece headed: “The greatest human impact of all” in “On Line Opinion”.
He argues: “Testing shows that almost every individual is
now a walking contaminated site”.
Cribb concludes: “Chemicals are valuable and extremely
useful things. They do great good, save many lives and much money. But all this
may be for nothing if the current uncontrolled, unregulated and unconscionable
mass release and planetary saturation continues. Most people know it is not a
good idea to foul the place we live: that lesson must now be applied in the
case of these invisible substances, before universal and irreversible harm
accrues to life on Earth.”
