Ultimately, the solution must come from science and technology. Conservationists cried over detergent foam-up in streams and rivers; science developed more easily broken-down ("biodegradable") detergents. Science has developed techniques for pretreating sewage and industrial waste so that it need not pollute the nation's waters. Science will find new ways to use growing stockpiles of scrap metal; it is developing acceptable substitutes for wood...
...rubber industry's most inventive engineers, who directed physical research first at Goodyear and later at Firestone, in 1932 conceived a low-pressure pneumatic tractor tire that proved a major boon to farming, during World War II developed hard-rubber tracks for U.S. and British tanks, and a foam plastic float used to transport vehicles ashore in the Okinawa landing; of chronic lung disease; in Wilmington...

Carbide makes more than a thousand varieties of plastic (for women's coats, artificial wigs, handbags and baby bottles), last year acquired the Englander Co., a mattress maker, to spread sales of urethane foam. Its Linde division makes synthetic sapphires for scientific use with laser and maser beams, but has a profitable sideline in women's jewelry. In fact, though Carbide is primarily a supplier to other industries, it now counts about 10% of its sales in direct consumer products. Its longtime line of Eveready batteries includes 450 shapes and sizes, and its Prestone trademark...
