William Vogt (1902 - 1968) "laid out the basic ideas for the modern environmental movement. He founded 'apocalyptic environmentalism'—the belief that unless humankind drastically reduces consumption & limits population, it will ravage global ecosystems. Vogt argued that affluence is not our greatest achievement but our biggest problem. If we continue taking more than the Earth can give, the result will be devastation on a global scale. Cut back! was his mantra."
