  • ·       “If you are fearful of the destruction of the environment, then learn to quit being an environmental parasite.” ~ Wendell Berry

    ·       “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live.” ~ (probably not Albert Einstein)

    ·       “Plans to protect air and water, wilderness and wildlife are in fact plans to protect man.” ~ Stewart Udall

    ·       “[The movement to address climate change is] about something deeper than [justice], it’s about solidarity. Human solidarity.” ~ Bill McKibben

    ·       “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make.” ~ Jane Goodall

    ·       “I would request that my body in death be buried not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime.” ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson

    ·       “If we are ever to halt climate change and conserve land, water and other resources, not to mention reduce animal suffering, we must celebrate Earth Day every day—at every meal.” ~ Ingrid Newkirk
