"When You Finally Notice Something..."
Anti-Nuclear Movement
This 1975 anti-nuclear power poster by Gillado Booth and White Whippet Press includes the quote, "When you finally notice something that's been a long while coming you don't have much time left." During the 1970s, many environmental activists opposed nuclear power because of concerns over nuclear waste disposal.
