Albert Schweitzer
“This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever man does to the web, he does to himself.”
Chief Seattle

Carl Lipo
“Modern Society will find no solution to the ecological problem unless it takes a serious look at its lifestyles.”
Pope John Paul II
“We won't have a society if we destroy the environment”
Margaret Mead
“Guns have metamorphosed into cameras in this earnest comedy, the ecology safari, because nature has ceased to be what it always had been , what people needed protection from. Now nature tamed, endangered, mortal , needs to be protected from people.”
