- Take a course in good water and air and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone no harm will befall you.
- John Muir on Environmental
- Ted Turner is still a leader. And he sets a great example. His ability financially has been reduced, but his influence and his example still is an important asset to the whole environmental movement.
- Maurice Strong on Environmental
- Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.
- Henry David Thoreau on Environmental
- The Body Shop Foundation is run by our staff and supports social activism and environmental activism. We don't tend to support big agencies.
- Anita Roddick on Environmental
- The Endangered Species Act is the strongest and most effective tool we have to repair the environmental harm that is causing a species to decline.
- Norm Dicks on Environmental
- The environment is everything that isn't me.
- Albert Einstein on Environmental
- The environmental benefits of hydrogen are also outstanding. When used as an energy source, hydrogen produces no emissions besides water. Zero polluting emissions, an amazing advance over the current sources of energy that we use.
- Dan Lipinski on Environmental
- The environmental crisis arises from a fundamental fault: our systems of production - in industry, agriculture, energy and transportation - essential as they are, make people sick and die.
- Barry Commoner on Environmental
- The environmental crisis is a global problem, and only global action will resolve it.
- Barry Commoner on Environmental
- The environmental movement, like all political processes, reacts best to disasters. But these are very slow, very gradual disasters in the making.
- Ted Danson on Environmental
- The government should set a goal for a clean environment but not mandate how that goal should be implemented.
- Dixie Lee Ray on Environmental
- The industrial processes in use today were developed at a time when no one had to consider what the environmental impact was. Who cared? But making ecological concerns matter to a company's bottom line will help it do the research and development that will reinvent everything we buy.
- Daniel Goleman on Environmental
- The infrastructure for linking environmental health and public health is not working as well as it should.
- Samuel Wilson on Environmental
- The main environmental challenge of the 21st century is poverty. When you don't know where your next meal is coming from, it's hard to consider the environment 100 years down the line.
- Bjorn Lomborg on Environmental
- The modern assault on the environment began about 50 years ago, during and immediately after World War II.
- Barry Commoner on Environmental
- The most important environmental issue is one that is rarely mentioned, and that is the lack of a conservation ethic in our culture.
- Gaylord Nelson on Environmental
- The most meaningful engine of change, powerful enough to confront corporate power, may be not so much environmental quality, as the economic development and growth associated with the effort to improve it.
- Barry Commoner on Environmental
- The only way forward, if we are going to improve the quality of the environment, is to get everybody involved.
- Richard Rogers on Environmental
- The position I took at the time was that we hadn't really examined any of the potential environmental consequences of introducing genetically modified organisms.
- Jeremy Rifkin on Environmental
- The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature. We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters... and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.
- Jacques Yves Cousteau on Environmental
- The wave of new productive enterprises would provide opportunities to remedy the unjust distribution of environmental hazards among economic classes and racial and ethnic communities.
- Barry Commoner on Environmental
- There are a tremendous amount of environmental issues that are on the table.
- Ed Rendell on Environmental
- There are more effective ways of tackling environmental problems including global warming, proliferation of plastics, urban sprawl, and the loss of biodiversity than by treaties, top-down regulations, and other approaches offered by big governments and their dependents.
- Preston Manning on Environmental
- There are nuclear weapons in China, Iran, Korea and Pakistan. It wouldn't take much to send a couple of warheads off on this planet somewhere that would cause a lot of environmental damage, then if you have got someone who wants to retaliate you have real problems.
- Edward James Olmos on Environmental
- There are two problems for our species' survival - nuclear war and environmental catastrophe - and we're hurtling towards them. Knowingly.
- Noam Chomsky on Environmental
- There has been a banking crisis, a financial crisis, an economic crisis, a social crisis, a geostrategic crisis and an environmental crisis. That's considerable in a country that's used to being protected.
- Jean-Francois Cope on Environmental
- There is no 'need' for us to eat meat, dairy or eggs. Indeed, these foods are increasingly linked to various human diseases and animal agriculture is an environmental disaster for the planet.
- Gary L. Francione on Environmental
- There is no place where we can safely store worn-out reactors or their garbage. No place!
- David R. Brower on Environmental
- There is no question that photography has played a major role in the environmental movement.
- Galen Rowell on Environmental
- There should be more attention paid to scientific research in the ecology area, and I think that such attention to proper environmental concerns would make the public feel much better about it.
- Thomas R. Cech on Environmental
- There's no longer any surprise in noting that China has grave environmental problems.
- James Fallows on Environmental
- There's so many issues tied to the meat industry. I mean, social, environmental, humanitarian - all of them. I know that when I'm eating that I'm not hurting the planet, I'm not hurting other people on this planet, I'm not hurting animals... and I'm not hurting nature.
- Maggie Q on Environmental
- These days, most nature photographers are deeply committed to the environmental message.
- Galen Rowell on Environmental
- They claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neighbors away from her, and deface her with their buildings and their refuse.
- Sitting Bull on Environmental
- This Bush administration has a growing credibility gap, maybe even a credibility chasm, on environmental policy. The President has lost the trust of the American people when it comes to the environment.
- Jim Jeffords on Environmental
- This is absolutely bizarre that we continue to subsidize highways beyond the gasoline tax, airlines, and we don't subsidize, we don't want to subsidize a national rail system that has environmental impact.
- Joe Biden on Environmental
- This Nation has realized significant environmental improvements over the last three decades.
- Jerry Costello on Environmental
- Time after time we're told corporations should have freedom from pesky job safety regulations, environmental protections and labor standards - giving working people the freedom to be crushed in collapsing mines, choke on filthy air and get paid too little to live on.
- Richard Trumka on Environmental
- To be clear, climate change is a true 800 pound gorilla in the room. The effects of global warming threaten global environmental upheaval over the coming century. But for South Florida and the Everglades, it could be our death knell if urgent action is not taken.
- Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Environmental
- Toxins love to get you while you're young. Lead, mercury, secondhand smoke and sundry other environmental nasties do a lot more damage when tissue is immature, vulnerable and growing than when it's mature and comparatively fixed.
- Jeffrey Kluger on Environmental
