Contrary to the ecologists, nature does not stand still and does not maintain the kind of equilibrium that guarantees the survival of any particular species - least of all the survival of her greatest and most fragile product: man.
Ayn Rand
Image
Understanding the laws of nature does not mean that we are immune to their operations.
David Gerrold
Image
Unprecedented technological capabilities combined with unlimited human creativity have given us tremendous power to take on intractable problems like poverty, unemployment, disease, and environmental degradation. Our challenge is to translate this extraordinary potential into meaningful change.
Muhammad Yunus
Image
To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. Design is how you treat your customers. If you treat them well from an environmental, emotional, and aesthetic standpoint, you're probably doing good design.
Yves Behar

For nearly 11 years, now, we have been on this mission we call it, climbing Mt. Sustainability, a mountain higher than Everest, to meet at that point at the top that symbolizes zero footprint-zero environmental impact. Sustainable: taking nothing, doing no harm.
Ray Anderson
Image
It is in man's heart that the life of nature's spectacle exists to see it, one must feel it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Image
We live in a web of ideas, a fabric of our own making.
Joseph Chilton Pearce
Image
In order that we finite beings may apprehend the Emporer He translates His glory into multiple forms - into stars, woods, waters, beasts, and the bodies of men.
C. S. Lewis
Image
It was not until we saw the picture of the earth, from the moon, that we realized how small and how helpless this planet is - something that we must hold in our arms and care for.
Margaret Mead
Image
It strikes me as being morally repulsive and intellectually absurd that people die of want in a world of surplus.
Bob Geldof
Image
The poor old earth which has mothered us and nursed us we treat with scant respect. Our awe and veneration we reserve for the worlds we know not of. Our senses sell us out. The mud on our shoes disenchants us.
John Burroughs
Image
After the oil spill, I had this strong feeling that if I ever were to be blessed in having children, I never wanted my kids to see me pumping gas at a gas station. I think it's our responsibility to make the changes that we need to take regardless of convenience.
Alyssa Milano
Image
But one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy...One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy any more.
Ottmar Edenhofer
Image
The old Lakota was wise. He knew that man's heart, away from nature, becomes hard he knew that lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to lack of respect for humans too.
Luther Standing Bear
Image
Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
Laozi
Image
History in its broadest aspect is a record of man's migrations from one environment to another.
Ellsworth Huntington

Marketers... Can't simply put a more environmentally friendly package on the shelves and assume that shoppers will recognize and appreciate the change. If the goal is to drive preference or justify a price premium, the environmental benefit needs to be conveyed.
Scott Young

So, these political activities will create friction in and of themselves, and in this environment of friction there'll be additional violence.
John Abizaid
Image
The unlimited capacity of the plant world to sustain man at his highest is a region as yet unexplored by modern science.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, you know, when they do what they do, you've got more carbon dioxide.
John Boehner
Image
Water is H2O, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one, but there is also a third thing, that makes it water and nobody knows what that is.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
The trouble with water-and there is trouble with water-is that they're not making any more of it. They're not making any less, mind, but no more either. There is the same amount of water in the planet now as there was in prehistoric times.
Marq de Villiers
Image
Environmental policies are not just about good publicity they are about responding to the moral imperative to address both climate change and resource depletion...A company culture that is based on measuring everything in purely financial terms will be crippled by a high turnover of staff, customers and suppliers
Toby Robins

On our crowded planet there are no longer any internal affairs!
