Environmental degradation, overpopulation, refugees, narcotics, terrorism, world crime movements, and organized crime are worldwide problems that don't stop at a nation's borders.
Environmental concern is now firmly embedded in public life: in education, medicine and law; in journalism, literature and art.
Every time I have some moment on a seashore, or in the mountains, or sometimes in a quiet forest, I think this is why the environment has to be preserved.
All is connected... no one thing can change by itself.
Birds are indicators of the environment. If they are in trouble, we know we'll soon be in trouble.
By polluting clear water with slime you will never find good drinking water.
I don't think we're going to save anything if we go around talking about saving plants and animals only; we've got to translate that into what's in it for us. I did not become a vegetarian for my health, I did it for the health of the chickens.
Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land.
For me, going vegan was an ethical and environmental decision. I'm doing the right thing by the animals.
God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
After all, sustainability means running the global environment - Earth Inc. - like a corporation: with depreciation, amortization and maintenance accounts. In other words, keeping the asset whole, rather than undermining your natural capital.
Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.
I can find God in nature, in animals, in birds and the environment.
Earth Day 1970 was irrefutable evidence that the American people understood the environmental threat and wanted action to resolve it.
I firmly believe that we can have a healthy environment and a sustainable timber industry.
I see humanity now as one vast plant, needing for its highest fulfillment only love, the natural blessings of the great outdoors, and intelligent crossing and selection.
I think Captain Cousteau might be the father of the environmental movement.
