David Suzuki

David Suzuki
What permaculturists are doing is the most important activity that any group is doing on the planet.
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
