lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our
people." | |

|
| "Good and evil are not what our parents told us, not what our church
tells us, or our country, not what anybody else tells us! All of us decide
good and evil for ourselves, automatically, by choosing what we want to
do!" | |

Richard David Bach

something else anyway." | |

| "The struggle to save the global environment is in one way much more
difficult than the struggle to vanquish Hitler, for this time the war is
with ourselves. We are the enemy, just as we have only ourselves as
allies. In a war such as this, then, what is victory and how will we
recognize it?" | |

Al Gore

|
| "We shall never understand the natural environment until we see it as
a living organism. Land can be healthy or sick, fertile or barren, rich
or poor, lovingly nurtured or bled white. Our present attitudes and laws
governing the ownership and use of land represent an abuse of the concept
of private property.... Today you can murder land for private profit. You
can leave the corpse for all to see and nobody calls the cops." | |
