The only way forward, if we are going to improve the quality of the environment, is to get everybody involved.
Richard Rogers
Not all is doom and gloom. We are beginning to understand the natural world and are gaining a reverence for life - all life.
Roger Tory Peterson
We assume that everything's becoming more efficient, and in an immediate sense that's true; our lives are better in many ways. But that improvement has been gained through a massively inefficient use of natural resources.
Paul Hawken
Unless we keep this planet healthy, everything else is for naught.
Victoria Principal
Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.
Aldo Leopold
When we realize we can make a buck cleaning up the environment, it will be done!
Dennis Weaver
Under the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Program, homes are independently verified to be measurably more energy efficient than average houses.

You may be able to fool the voters, but not the atmosphere.
Donella Meadows
The Endangered Species Act is the strongest and most effective tool we have to repair the environmental harm that is causing a species to decline.
Norm Dicks
No one should be able to enter a wilderness by mechanical means.
Garrett Hardin
In a finite world this means that the per capita share of the world's goods must steadily decrease.
Garrett Hardin
Our world faces a true planetary emergency. I know the phrase sounds shrill, and I know it's a challenge to the moral imagination.
Al Gore
Population, when unchecked, goes on doubling itself every 25 years or increases in a geometrical ratio.
Thomas Malthus
We learned that economic growth and environmental protection can and should go hand in hand.
Christopher Dodd
The modern assault on the environment began about 50 years ago, during and immediately after World War II.
Barry Commoner
Earth Day 1970 was irrefutable evidence that the American people understood the environmental threat and wanted action to resolve it.

I think the government has to reposition environment on top of their national and international priorities.
Brian Mulroney
We are now heading down a centuries-long path toward increasing the productivity of our natural capital - the resource systems upon which we depend to live - instead of our human capital.
Paul Hawken
We don't have to sacrifice a strong economy for a healthy environment.
Dennis Weaver
Local innovation and initiative can help us better understand how to protect our environment.
Gale Norton
Why has it seemed that the only way to protect the environment is with heavy-handed government regulation?
Gale Norton
A knowledgeable and courageous U.S. president could help enormously in leading the world's nations toward saving the climate.
Donella Meadows
The government should set a goal for a clean environment but not mandate how that goal should be implemented.
Dixie Lee Ray
Mankind is considered (by the radical environmentalists) the lowest and the meanest of all species and is blamed for everything.
Dixie Lee Ray
Maintaining healthy forests is essential to those who make a living from the land and for those of us who use them for recreational purposes.
Cathy McMorris
When a man wantonly destroys one of the works of man we call him a vandal. When he destroys one of the works of god we call him a sportsman.

Marsha Blackburn
If you violate Nature's laws you are your own prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and hangman.
Luther Burbank
Within 10 years it will be impossible to travel to the North Pole by dog team. There will be too much open water.

If we bestow but a very little attention to the economy of the animal creation, we shall find manifest examples of premeditation, perseverance, resolution, and consumate artifice, in order to effect their purpose.
William Bartram
Industry is fortune's right hand, and frugality its left.
John Ray
In today's world, it is no longer unimaginable to think that business can operate - and even thrive - in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Olympia Snowe
I consider myself to have been the bridge between the shotgun and the binoculars in bird watching. Before I came along, the primary way to observe birds was to shoot them and stuff them.
Roger Tory Peterson
Pushing production out of America to nations without our environmental standards increases global environmental risks.
