"In many ways, the last 10,000 years have seen us act
as if nature is having a clearance sale, at rock bottom prices."
~Chris Knight
"Each of us has an important role in changing the
world by laying claim to our passions and committing ourselves to
fulfill our dreams for a peaceful, just, and sustainable world".
~John Perkins
"The primary threat to nature and people today comes from centralising
and monopolising power and control. Not until diversity is made the
logic of production will there be a chance for sustainability, justice
and peace. Cultivating and conserving diversity is no luxury in our
times: it is a survival imperative."
~Vandana Shiva

"If humanity is to thrive long into the future,
we'll need to reorient our cultures to center on sustainability, not
consumerism."
~Worldwatch Institute
" Walking is better than biking is better than
trains is better than ships and planes."
~Anon
"The success or failure of the twenty-first
century's sustainability revolution will determine the future of
mankind and many species on Earth."
~Dr. David Suzuki
We are now faced with the
fact,
my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce
urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there
is such a thing as being too late." ~Dr. Martin
