Scholars have linked the rise of modern environmentalism to a broader cultural shift toward postmaterialist values that accompanied the rise of an increasingly mobile, educated, and consumerist middle class (Hayes 1987 Ingle-hart 1990). Yet as Christopher Sellers (1997 11) has observed, those values would have remained empty without the new validity and concreteness that science brought to the threat of industrial chemicals. As he and others have shown (Gunter and Harris 1998 Palladino 1996 Potter 1997 Whorton 1975), concerted efforts among government and university scientists to better understand the environmental and health effects of synthetic chemicals anticipated the Earth Day mobilizations by decades.
