Quote

We have a moral responsibility to protect the earth and ensure that our children and grandchildren have a healthy and sustainable environment in which to live.

What we do really affects the world. Most of us think we can't do anything, but it really isn't true.

What we have, however, is an issue that has tremendous impact here at home, and we believe that Americans are starting to feel vulnerable, not just from what is going on around the world but right here in the United States.

But reducing harmful emissions, abating our dependence on foreign oil and developing alternative renewable energy sources have benefits that go beyond environmental health, they improve personal health, enhance national security and encourage our nation's economic viability.

Everything we do affects other people.

The way Americans understand and treat other peoples almost guarantees that the world will suffer more trouble.

Our meaning is to make our little planet Earth a better place to live, to stop wars, disarm nuclear missiles, to stop diseases, AIDS, plague, cancer and to stop pollution.

I can't think of anything more important than the environment we leave to our children and our children's children.

Sooner or later we've got to tie the saving of the natural world to our own public welfare.

We want to use the environment to shift the way our society works.
