“Cause it’s our future.
Because it’s going to affect us the most.
And also right now,
mostly it’s older generations
that are making these decisions
and they may have been alive longer,
but we have to live with the decisions
that they make for longer.
And so it is crucial
that we are the ones out here
demanding action
and that we really do
take our future into our own hands.”
~ Mary Ellis Stevens more
“If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired,
rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold,
recycled or composted,
then it should be restricted, redesigned
or removed from production.”
~ Pete Seeger more
“For way too long,
the politicians and the people in power
have gotten away with not doing anything
to fight the climate crisis,
but we will make sure
that they will not get away with it any longer.
We are striking
because we have done our homework
and they have not.”
~ Greta Thunberg more
“No one owns the water.
No one owns the land.
No one owns the oceans.
No one owns the sands.
These are given by our Mother.
The planet provides for free.
Only by the hands of the greedy
does the earth require a fee.”
~ Poet Christopher
“We are in danger of destroying ourselves
by our greed and stupidity.
We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves
on a small and increasingly polluted
and overcrowded planet.”
~ Stephen Hawking more
“We are living on the planet
as if we have another one to go to.”
~ Terry Swearingen
“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken,
over-civilized people
are beginning to find out
that going to the mountains
is going home;
that wildness is a necessity…
and that mountain parks
are useful not only as
fountains of timber…
but as fountains of life.”
~ John Mulr
