David Suzuki

David Suzuki
If America wants to retain its position as a global power, its president must listen to the people and show strong leadership at this turning point in human history.
David Suzuki
You would have thought that our first priority would be to ask what the ecologists are finding out, because we have to live within the conditions and principles they define. Instead, we've elevated the economy above ecology.
David Suzuki
Our personal consumer choices have ecological, social, and spiritual consequences. It is time to re-examine some of our deeply held notions that underlie our lifestyles.
David Suzuki
Protecting the biosphere should be our highest priority or else we sicken and die.

David Suzuki
We have much to learn by studying nature and taking the time to tease out its secrets.
David Suzuki

David Suzuki
The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air, water, and continents are interconnected. That is our home.
David Suzuki
For the sake of our health, our children and grandchildren and even our economic well-being, we must make protecting the planet our top priority.
David Suzuki
If we want to move towards a low-polluting, sustainable society, we need to get consumers to think about their purchases.
David Suzuki
Human beings are often at their best when responding to immediate crises - car accidents, house fires, hurricanes. We are less effective in the face of enormous but slow-moving crises such as the loss of biodiversity or climate change.
David Suzuki
The damage that climate change is causing and that will get worse if we fail to act goes beyond the hundreds of thousands of lives, homes and businesses lost, ecosystems destroyed, species driven to extinction, infrastructure smashed and people inconvenienced.
David Suzuki
If we humans are good at anything, it’s thinking we’ve got a terrific idea and going for it without acknowledging the potential consequences or our own ignorance.
David Suzuki
I can't imagine anything more important than air, water, soil, energy and biodiversity. These are the things that keep us alive.
David Suzuki
I see a world in the future in which we understand that all life is related to us and we treat that life with great humility and respect.
David Suzuki
