We were taught about ecology and even read Silent Spring in High School science class.

Of course, the counter-argument back then was: Do you want progress and prosperity or do you want pristine streams and undisturbed meadows?

What they did not point out was the economic cost of pollution in terms of health and general quality of life. Modern environmentalism is simply about fixing the market so that those people who cause pollution are also responsible for cleaning it up afterwards and are not allowed to “socialize” the downstream costs.
