“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
“The Earth
will not continue to offer its harvest,
except with faithful stewardship.
We cannot say we love the land
and then take steps to destroy it
for use by future generations.”
~ Pope John Paul II more
“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
“Amazingly, we’ve become a culture
that considers Twinkies, Cocoa Puffs,
and Mountain Dew safe,
but raw milk and
compost-grown tomatoes unsafe.”
~ Joel Salatin
“The greatest threat to our planet
is the belief that someone else will save it.”
~ Robert Swan more
“The biggest challenge we face
is shifting human conciousness,
not saving the planet.
The planet doesn’t need saving,
we do.”

“If you look at Earth from space you see a dot,
that’s here.
That’s home. That’s us.
It underscores the responsibility to deal more kindly
and compassionately with one another
and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot,
the only home we’ve ever known.”
~ Carl Sagan
