He speaks about pollution and damage done to the environment by human race. He talks of the need to make reparations for the damage we have done to our land, air, and water. He notes that this is a particular concern of young people, "because they more than we will reap the grim consequences of our failure to act on programs which are needed now, if we are to prevent disaster later."
