More quotes by David Suzuki
Each time I visit Japan, I am reminded of how Canadian I am and how little racial connection matters.
David Suzuki
With the world's human population now at seven billion and growing, and the demand for technology and modern conveniences increasing, we can't control all our negative impacts. But we have to find better ways to live within the limits nature and its cycles impose.
David Suzuki
In the environmental movement, every time you lose a battle it's for good, but our victories always seem to be temporary and we keep fighting them over and over again.
David Suzuki
Fukushima is the most terrifying situation I can imagine.
David Suzuki
Planting native species in our gardens and communities is increasingly important, because indigenous insects, birds and wildlife rely on them. Over thousands, and sometimes millions, of years they have co-evolved to live in local climate and soil conditions.
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
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
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
Any politician or scientist who tells you these [GMO] products are safe is either very stupid or lying.
David Suzuki
Humans are now the most numerous mammal on the planet. There are more humans than rats or mice. Humans have a huge ecological footprint, magnified by their technology.
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
All those hours exploring the great outdoors made me more resilient and confident.
David Suzuki
The human brain had a vast memory storage. It made us curious and very creative. Those were the characteristics that gave us an advantage - curiosity, creativity and memory. And that brain did something very special. It invented an idea called 'the future.'
David Suzuki
Protecting the biosphere should be our highest priority or else we sicken and die.
David Suzuki
Love is the force that makes us fully human.
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
Canada, more than any nation, will be affected by rising sea levels from global warming.
David Suzuki
Debating the best way to do something we shouldn't be doing in the first place is a sure way to end up in the wrong place.
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
With an estimated population of nine billion people by 2050, we cannot continue to consume resources at the same rate and maintain our quality of life.
David Suzuki
