More quotes by Philippe Cousteau, Jr.
I could cut my leg off. I could cut my arm off. I could gouge an eye out. I'd still probably survive. But not very well. And that's what we're doing to the oceans. It's the life-support system of this planet. We've been dumping in it. We've been polluting it. We've been destroying it for decades. And we're essentially maiming ourselves.
Philippe Cousteau, Jr.
Young people have, truly, the potential to change the world. Not when they get older - today.
Philippe Cousteau, Jr.
I believe that the only true agents of change on a large scale, in this country or anywhere, are young people.
Philippe Cousteau, Jr.
I've seen a lot of doom and gloom and depressing things, and it's [the] youth that give me hope.
Philippe Cousteau, Jr.
