To leave the world better than you found it, sometimes you have to pick up other people's trash.

If you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they'll be all over it.
Bill Nye
Image
From an evolutionary standpoint you can't just wipe everything out and start over, and I don't think you can do it in the school system either.
Bill Nye
Image
Evolution is one of the most powerful and important ideas ever developed in the history of science. Every question it raises leads to new answers, new discoveries, and new smarter questions. The science of evolution is as expansive as nature itself. It is also the most meaningful creation story that humans have ever found.
Bill Nye

Science provides a much more satisfactory way to seek answers than does any religion.
Bill Nye

We need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future.

By the way, most of the light that comes from the sun is green.

I speak with dogs frequently. They don't really talk, but I feel they're communicating.
Bill Nye
Image
When we explore the cosmos, we come to believe and prove that we can solve problems that have never been solved. It brings out the best in us. Space exploration imbues everyone with an optimistic view of the future.
Bill Nye
Image
I'll admit that the discovery of evolution is humbling, but it is also empowering. It transforms our relationship to the life around us. Instead of being outsiders watching the natural world go by, we are insiders. We are part of the process we are the exquisite result of billions of years of natural research and development.

Recommending or insisting on abstinence has been completely ineffective.
Bill Nye
Image
The thing about a theory in science is it allows you make predictions. Evolutionary theory allows us to predict what apples will taste good next harvest.
Bill Nye
Image
Incidentally, the creationists that I've encountered diligently deny that our Earth's climate is being altered by people. This point of view and teaching is in absolutely no one's best interest. Here's hoping we can work together and preserve the Earth, for us - us humans.

If the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it's game over. It's control-alt-delete for civilization.
Bill Nye
Image
Humor is everywhere in that there's irony in just about anything a human does.
Bill Nye
Image
Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back.
Bill Nye
Image
It is my mission to change the world. I'm not kidding: Make no small plans, dream mighty things. I feel if we get enough people engaged in climate change, we will get enough people to change the world. We will revolutionize the way we produce electricity and provide clean water to people.
Bill Nye
Image
Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.
Bill Nye
Image
History is but the record of the public and official acts of human beings. It is our object, therefore, to humanize our history and deal with people past and present people who ate and possibly drank people who were born, flourished and died not grave tragedians, posing perpetually for their photographs.

Hard to find anything lovelier than a tree. They grow at right angles to a tangent of the nominal sphere of the Earth.

I stand by my assertions that although you can know what happens to any individual species that you modify, you cannot be certain what will happen to the ecosystem. Also, we have a strange situation where we have malnourished fat people. It's not that we need more food. It's that we need to manage our food system better.
