John F. Kennedy & Our Environment: "We All Breathe the Same Air"

"For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal."
President John F. Kennedy, American University, June 10, 1963
