That we have children coming into this world already polluted, at the same time we don't know what the effects of that pollution will be on their mental and physical development, is both bad policy and immorally wrong.

All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people and harder - and ultimately impossible to solve - with ever more people.

Climate change is the central environmental ill of our time. We have an obligation to protect our children from the dangers of this widening scourge, and we aren't yet doing enough about it.

We owe it to our children to be better stewards of the environment. The alternative? - a world without whales. It's too terrible to imagine.

Having children really changes your priorities.

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

There are a lot of people who want to leave their children with a world that is in better shape.

To lose a child is - I can't imagine anything worse than that.

We must conserve our environment and pass it on to our children in as good or better condition than it was passed to us.

There is a societal cost of increased pollution, and that's what I'm passionate about as a mother.
