Other things, like capitalism, free enterprise, the economy, currency, the market, are not forces of nature, we invented them. They are not immutable and we can change them.
David Suzuki
All those hours exploring the great outdoors made me more resilient and confident.
David Suzuki
What permaculturists are doing is the most important activity that any group is doing on the planet. We don't know what details of a truly sustainable future are going to be like, but we need options, we need people experimenting in all kinds of ways and permaculturists are one of the critical gangs that are doing that.
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
One of the joys of being a grandparent is getting to see the world again through the eyes of a child.
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
Each of us has the ability to act powerfully for change together we can restore that ancient and sustaining harmony.
David Suzuki

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
Each time I visit Japan, I am reminded of how Canadian I am and how little racial connection matters.
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
The current economic system is fundamentally flawed and inevitably destructive.
David Suzuki
Faced with the evidence, many deniers have started to admit that global warming is real, but argue that humans have little or nothing to do with it.
David Suzuki
Japan is a model already to the lie that economic growth is the key to our future. If they can really show an alternative to nukes and fossil fuels, then they will be the poster boy for the renewable energy for the future.
David Suzuki
Our planet has not seen an extinction crisis as serious as the one in progress for 65 million years.
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
We must reinvent a future free of blinders so that we can choose from real options.
David Suzuki
If Canada, one of the richest nations in the world, can't meet Kyoto targets, why should China or India give any considerations for meeting the targets?
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
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
