More quotes by David Suzuki
Humanity is facing a challenge unlike any we've ever had to confront. We are in an unprecedented period of change.
David Suzuki
Nature surrounds us, from parks and backyards to streets and alleyways. Next time you go out for a walk, tread gently and remember that we are both inhabitants and stewards of nature in our neighbourhoods.
David Suzuki
It is not too late to take another path.
David Suzuki
Love is the force that makes us fully human.
David Suzuki
The increasing frequency of extreme weather events, droughts and floods is in line with what climate scientists have been predicting for decades - and evidence is mounting that what's happening is more severe than predicted, and will get far worse still if we fail to act.
David Suzuki
For the first time since life appeared on earth, one species- us- is single-handedly altering the physical, chemical and biological nature of earth. We have become a force of nature
David Suzuki
Just as fossil fuels from conventional sources are finite and are becoming depleted, those from difficult sources will also run out. If we put all our energy and resources into continued fossil fuel extraction, we will have lost an opportunity to have invested in renewable energy.
David Suzuki
What permaculturists are doing is the most important activity that any group is doing on the planet.
David Suzuki
There are some things in the world we can't change.
David Suzuki
One of the joys of being a grandparent is getting to see the world again through the eyes of a child.
David Suzuki
We are playing Russian roulette with features of the planet’s atmosphere that will profoundly impact generations to come. How long are we willing to gamble?
David Suzuki
We can no longer tolerate what's going on in Ottawa and Edmonton. What I would challenge you to do is to put a lot of effort into trying to see whether there's a legal way of throwing our so-called leaders into jail because what they're doing is a criminal act.
David Suzuki
If we want to address global warming, along with the other environmental problems associated with our continued rush to burn our precious fossil fuels as quickly as possible, we must learn to use our resources more wisely, kick our addiction, and quickly start turning to sources of energy that have fewer negative impacts.
David Suzuki
Less than 10% of the fuel energy burned in automobiles is translated into forward motion of the vehicle and even then most of this energy is needed to move the vehicle itself, which typically weighs 20 times more than its passengers.
David Suzuki
A book is like a single tree in a forest, in that it exists in conjunction with and because of a great many others around it.
David Suzuki
Aboriginal people are key because they have a different sense of where we belong and how we interact with nature.
David Suzuki
The environment is so fundamental to our continued existence that it must transcend politics and become a central value of all members of society.
David Suzuki
Japan is a model already to the lie that economic growth is the key to our future. If they can really show an alternative to nukes and fossil fuels, then they will be the poster boy for the renewable energy for the future.
David Suzuki
Feeding our energy appetite is top of mind for many people these days.
David Suzuki
Every breath is a sacrament, an affirmation of our connection with all other living things, a renewal of our link with our ancestors and a contribution to generations yet to come. Our breath is a part of life's breath, the ocean of air that envelopes the earth.
David Suzuki
