It is by studying little things that we attain the great knowledge of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible. Samuel Johnson, in Boswell's London Journal, 1762-1763
The defeat of project Chariot [a plan to create a huge harbor in northern Alaska with the aid of up to six thermonuclear bombs] represented the first successful opposition to the American nuclear establishment and one of the first battles of the new era of "environmentalism." Here the rationale for caution was not the old logic of conserving a magnificent landscape or endangered species. Rather it was based on a more holistic concept of environmental protection, which recognized that insidious degradation was possible because of the invisible connectedness of things. "Looking back on my career in environmentalism," said Barry Commoner in a 1988 interview, ''it is absolutely certain that it began when I went to the library to look up lichen in connection with the Chariot program. That's a very vivid picture in my mind." Chariot led Commoner into environmentalism, and Commoner led others into what became known as the environmental movement. "And I think," said Commoner, "in so far as I had an effect on the development of the whole movement (which I did, I have to admit), Project Chariot can be regarded as the ancestral birthplace of at least a large segment of the environmental movement." Dan O'Neill, The Firecracker Boys, 1994
