Quotes on Sound Pollution


“There's a lot of anger and frustration in the atmosphere these days. We didn't want to add to the negative noise pollution, but we did want to do something. It's just not the time to be cryptic. I mean, our tax dollars for this war are being funneled through huge corporations-one of which Dick Cheney used to be head of-and there's an even greater disparity between rich or poor in this country. It offends me on a really deep level.”


“At first glance it seems like an interesting idea. But perhaps not. I can imagine a crowded parking lot with all those hybrids coming and going, and the annoying sounds would create a major noise-pollution problem. Think road rage.”

“One of great threats facing marine mammals in the ocean is acoustic pollution - noise pollution - which is impeding the whales' ability to find food and communicate with each other.”

"Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting.
We allow them to disperse because
we've been ignorant of their value."
Richard Buckminster Fuller

"Use cleaning supplies that don't pollute."

"Among these treasures of our land is water--fast becoming our most valuable, most prized, most critical resource. A blessing where properly used--but it can bring devastation and ruin when left uncontrolled."

"We were surprised at the little things we could all do to reduce our greenhouse gases by one-tonne. We all could make more of a difference when it comes to greenhouse gases."
