How we are using up our home, how we are living and polluting the planet is frightening. It was evident when I was a child. It's more evident now.

I think the dangers are different now. Our abuse of the planet and our resources is an anxiety.
What I have found most surprising is the amount of damage we have done to environment in the course of my lifetime - not even five and a half decades.
I think that its easy to think of the environment as all doom and gloom and that, 'What can we do, it's too late. And the polar bears are gone, and everything is gone.' But really, just the little steps that we can make as individuals make a big difference.
The first light of day today revealed what we had feared. The devastation is greater than our worst fears. It's just totally overwhelming.
All these dismal things that are going on in the world - the isolation and the sickness and the governments and the pollution - it's so frightful, over the whole world.
I believe global warming and climate change are real threats to our planet.
We have become frighteningly effective at altering nature.
And I think that the environment is one very strong way to counterbalance the chaotic nature of our life.
Every technology, every science that tells us more about ourselves, is scary at the time.
I feel more like an environmentalist since I've been up here. There are parts of the Earth that are covered with pollution all the time. I saw weather that was unexpected. Storms bigger than we've seen in the past. This is a human effect. This is not a natural phenomenon.
