Environment
Sustainability is living as if the future matters.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals change themselves for the environment, but humans change the environment for themselves.
Living simply has resulted in us becoming more aware of the environment and the impact we have on it.
We won’t have a society if we destroy the environment.
We have to shift our emphasis from economic efficiency and materialism towards a sustainable quality of life and to healing of our society, of our people and our ecological systems.
Perhaps catastrophe is the natural human environment, and even though we spend a good deal of energy trying to get away from it, we are programmed for survival amid catastrophe.
For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death.
The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future.
