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
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
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
The one thing I feel is very hopeful, however, is the overwhelming participation of women in the movement for change.
David Suzuki
