I have never considered myself anything other than an environmentalist. I have spent the better part of my life either in the wilderness, or trying desperately to get there.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
No one is an environmentalist by birth. It is only your path, your life, your travels that awaken you.
You can't really call yourself an environmentalist if you're still consuming animals. You just can't.
I maintain that if there is such a thing as a true and honest environmentalist, it's people like Slim and hopefully me, who have been caretakers of the land all our lives, along with the generations before us.
Environmentalism isn't a discipline or specialty. It's a way of seeing our place in the world. And we need everybody to see the world that way. Don't think 'In order to make a difference I have to become an environmentalist.'
The environment is everything that isn't me.
I always get involved with the environment because once you go past the tipping point with the environment, you don't get it back.
I try to do things that I think are helpful to the environment, to the animals, and to the planet.
I always knew that I was going be an environmental advocate when I was very young.
I'm a drifter and an outsider. There's not one single environment I can totally belong to.
I'm not an environmentalist. I'm a cultural repairman. It's all about efficient and restorative use of resources to make the world secure, prosperous and life-sustaining.
