Abstract/Contents: | Discusses environmentalism, suggesting that "the public has been effectively manipulated into being scared half to death that the products that have delivered [them] to [a] level of unprecedented prosperity are somehow killing [them] and destroying the environemnt to boot. This is a sad state of affairs, but it is reality." Mentions the potential effects of environmentalism on pest management, explaining that "as responsible members of an industry that protects public health and property, it is [a] duty to help quell people's real (however irrational) fear, rather than contribute to it...Pest management is not the easiest industry in which to be involved in [this] political climate." |
