The following quotes are from various speeches, and papers. I think that many of them get to the core of what my message is.

• "The focus may be on what individuals can achieve for themselves, but there also has to be a collective will in treating our planet ethically. We stand, or fall, together in this the most crucial battle of the 21st Century"
• "Our inability to think beyond ourselves or to be able to co-habit with other life forms in what is patently a massive collaborative quest for survival, is surely a malady that pervades the human soul"
• "Workable solutions for Earth are urgently needed. Saving seals and tigers, or fighting yet another oil pipeline through a wilderness area, while laudable, is merely shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic."
• "It just got serious"
• "The prophets of doom are already saying it is too late, that the crude and uninformed impact of man on the planet's life systems is just too great and that we don't have enough time to turn it all around. I don't happen to agree, but I do know that we are entering the end game. That unless there is a swift and marked change in our attitudes and actions, we could well be on our way to becoming an endangered species."
• "This time around it may not be a natural phenomenon; it may be ignorance and neglect of the natural world will prove to be our undoing."
• "Thankfully the Earth has an incredible capacity to sustain life, so perhaps something can still be done about it."
• "'Ethics' is the key theme. Ethics are essential to establish a granite moral code as an environmental lodestone."
