"Only when the last tree is cut; only when the last river is polluted; only when the last fish is caught; only then will they realize that you cannot eat money." (Cree Indian Proverb)
"I propose a different ranking system for colleges based on whether the institution and its graduates move the world in more sustainable directions or not. Do four years at a particular institution instill knowledge, love, and competence toward the natural world, or indifference and ignorance? Are the graduates of this or that college suited for a reponsible life on a planet with a biosphere." (David Orr, author, Earth in Mind)
"Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children." (Kenyan Proverb)
