More quotes by David Suzuki
You are what you do, not what you say.
David Suzuki
Global trade has advantages. For starters, it allows those of us who live through winter to eat fresh produce year-round. And it provides economic benefits to farmers who grow that food.
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
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
Nature surrounds us, from parks and backyards to streets and alleyways. Next time you go out for a walk, tread gently and remember that we are both inhabitants and stewards of nature in our neighbourhoods.
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
Humanity is facing a challenge unlike any we've ever had to confront. We are in an unprecedented period of change.
David Suzuki
For the sake of our health, our children and grandchildren and even our economic well-being, we must make protecting the planet our top priority.
David Suzuki
The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels.
David Suzuki
For the first time since life appeared on earth, one species- us- is single-handedly altering the physical, chemical and biological nature of earth. We have become a force of nature
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
If we pollute the air, water and soil that keep us alive and well, and destroy the biodiversity that allows natural systems to function, no amount of money will save us.
David Suzuki
The environment is so fundamental to our continued existence that it must transcend politics and become a central value of all members of society.
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
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
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
Water is our most precious resource, but we waste it, just as we waste other resources, including oil and gas.
David Suzuki
More than a billion people lack adequate access to clean water.
David Suzuki
So now the challenge is to imagine a different world where our wealth is in human relations and the things we do together, and we learn to live in balance with the rest of nature.
David Suzuki
We humans have become dependent on plastic for a range of uses, from packaging to products. Reducing our use of plastic bags is an easy place to start getting our addiction under control.
David Suzuki
