Dan Lynn
“We can get fuel from fruit, from that shrub by the roadside, or from apples, weeds, saw-dust - almost anything! There is fuel in every bit of vegetable matter that can be fermented. There is enough alcohol in one year's yield of a hectare of potatoes to drive the machinery necessary to cultivate the field for a hundred years. And it remains for someone to find out how this fuel can be produced commercially - better fuel at a cheaper price than we know now.”
Henry Ford
“These huge reptiles, surrounded by the black lava, the leafless shrubs and large cacti, seemed to my fancy like some antediluvian animals. The few dull-colored birds cared no more for me than they did for the great tortoises.”
Charles Darwin
“It takes decades for shrub communities to restore themselves. Grasses can sprout in a year or two.”
Mike Cox
“When you start seeing an area that was all tundra, and now all of a sudden, you see more shrubs or you see the forest encroaching, that is of great importance in terms of hydrology and ecology.”
Andrew Slater
“Cutting off lower branches on shrubs can open up a previously unused piece of real estate.”
Keith Wiley
“When you get the frosts coming, it turns all the lovely bilberry shrubs,”
