We will never end poverty if we don't tackle climate change.

We don't have to sacrifice a strong economy for a healthy environment.

To those who say Britain cannot afford to invest in infrastructure, I say we cannot afford not to invest in our future.

We cannot afford to leave the poor behind.

Unless we practice conservation, those who come after us will have to pay the price of misery, degradation, and failure for the progress and prosperity of our day.

I believe that people of substantial wealth potentially create problems for future generations unless they themselves accept responsibility to use their wealth during their lifetime to help worthwhile causes.

Poverty is not inevitable. It is a human ill that we can fight if we decide to do so together.

If we intend to provide a better life, and a better world, for future generations, we can't ignore the quality of the environment we leave them.

If we don't figure out a way to create equity, real equity, of opportunity and access, to good schools, housing, health care, and decent paying jobs, we're not going to survive as a productive and healthy society.
