There's so much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it all. ~Robert Orben

The Earth has a skin and that skin has diseases, one of its diseases is called man.

"There must be new contact between men and the earth; the earth must be newly seen and heard and felt and smelled and tasted; there must be a renewal of the wisdom that comes with knowing clearly the pain and the pleasure and the risk and the responsibility of being alive in this world". - Wendell Berry

"If we destroy more forests, burn more garbage, drift-net more fish, burn more coal, bleach more paper, destroy more topsoil, poison more insects, build over more habitats, dam more rivers, produce more toxins & radioactive waste, we are creating a vast industrial machine, not for living in, but for dying in." - William McDonough & Paul Hawken

"There is a very close interdependence between the natural environment and the sentient beings living in it. We share the earth not only with our fellow human beings, but with all the other creatures that live on the land, in the sea or in the air. Life is as dear to each of them as it is to us. Like us they not only wish to be happy, but they have a right to achieve happiness and overcome suffering. " - The Dalai Lama
