“Today we use 100 million barrels of oil every single day. There are no politics to change that. There are no rules to keep that oil in the ground. We can’t save the world by playing by the rules. The rules have to be changed.”
"Our main enemy right now is not our political opponents. Our main enemy is physics. And we cannot make “deals” with physics."

"We can no longer let people in power decide what hope is. Hope is not passive. Hope is not ‘blah blah blah.’ Hope is telling the truth. Hope is taking action. And hope always comes from the people."

- Greta Thunberg
Motivation
"Until you start focusing on what needs to be done rather than what is politically possible there is no hope."

"Technology is destructive only in the hands of people who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the universe."

"Inability to accept the mystic experience is more than an intellectual handicap. Lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination.

Environment
"Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but photos, kill nothing but time."
