More quotes by David Suzuki
What permaculturists are doing is the most important activity that any group is doing on the planet.
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
Over and over, we hear politicians say they can't spend our tax dollars on environmental protection when the economy is so fragile.
David Suzuki
Our beliefs, our values shape the way we look out at the world and the way we treat it. If we believe that we were here, placed here by God, that this - all of this creation is for us, it's for us to go and occupy, dominate and exploit, then we will proceed to do that.
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
From year to year, environmental changes are incremental and often barely register in our lives, but from evolutionary or geological perspectives, what is happening is explosive change.
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
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
It is not too late to take another path.
David Suzuki
But human borders mean nothing to air, water, windblown soil or seeds or migrating fish, birds or mammals.
David Suzuki
Water is our most precious resource, but we waste it, just as we waste other resources, including oil and gas.
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
Our identity includes our natural world, how we move through it, how we interact with it and how it sustains us.
David Suzuki
The event of creation did not take place so many eons ago, astronomically or biologically speaking. Creation is taking place every moment of our lives.
David Suzuki
Fukushima is the most terrifying situation I can imagine.
David Suzuki
Our planet has not seen an extinction crisis as serious as the one in progress for 65 million years.
David Suzuki
We have much to learn by studying nature and taking the time to tease out its secrets.
David Suzuki
Each time I visit Japan, I am reminded of how Canadian I am and how little racial connection matters.
David Suzuki
The failure of world leaders to act on the critical issue of global warming is often blamed on economic considerations.
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
