The pollution we generate, neglect and waste have become collective &#8220;environmental crimes&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s become <strong>eco-consumers<\/strong>, responsible consumers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The most credible scientists have alerted us for about sixty years (almost 3 generations &#8230;):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>thousands of scientists (biologists, environmentalists, agronomists,\u2026 since 1960),<\/li>\n<li>Rachel Carson (Silent Spring &#8211; 1962)<\/li>\n<li>the Club of Rome (from 1968)<\/li>\n<li>Barry Commoner (What land will we leave for our children? &#8211; 1969),<\/li>\n<li>Professor Ren\u00e9 Dumont, pioneer of agroecology in France (1974),<\/li>\n<li>the French climatology laboratories (from 1990),<\/li>\n<li>The first Earth Summit, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (1992)<\/li>\n<li>repeated calls from G.I.E.C. since 1998,\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>and the cry of President Chirac at the Johannesburg summit: &#8220;Our house is burning and we are looking elsewhere&#8221; &#8211; 2002),<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The first COP took place in 1995 in Berlin.
