"We are faced with a choice: either we continue down the path of destruction, or we change our ways and embrace a more sustainable future."

"Why would anyone want to destroy something so beautiful and intricate as nature?"

"To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a coastal breeze—this is to know the pulse of life."

"The balance of nature is not a static thing; it is a dynamic, complex, and constantly changing relation among living things and their nonliving environment."

"Are we to stand by while the people of the world are fed into a biological meat grinder? When we poison the air, the water, and the soil, we are poisoning ourselves."
