3 December 2020 Joe Biden This is absolutely bizarre that we continue to subsidize highways beyond the gasoline tax, airlines, and we don’t subsidize, we don’t want to subsidize a national rail system that has environmental impact.
3 December 2020 Maurice Strong After all, sustainability means running the global environment – Earth Inc. – like a corporation: with depreciation, amortization and maintenance accounts. In other words, keeping the asset whole, rather than undermining your natural capital.
3 December 2020 Roger Tory Peterson 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.
3 December 2020 Gale Norton Why has it seemed that the only way to protect the environment is with heavy-handed government regulation?
3 December 2020 Samuel Wilson It is important to consider whether the sample size selected by the Environmental Genome Project will provide sufficient power to discover most alleles relevant to gene-environment interactions.
3 December 2020 Samuel Wilson We all recognize that in recent decades, many important achievements have helped create a cleaner, healthier environment, yet our national needs in environmental health are not being fully met.

3 December 2020 Joseph Wood Krutch If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God, they are called developers.
3 December 2020 Ace Frehley I don’t see this planet being… they’re talking about how they’re turning around the environmental problems here, but I think it’s already too late.
3 December 2020 Garrett Hardin Why are ecologists and environmentalists so feared and hated? This is because in part what they have to say is new to the general public, and the new is always alarming.
3 December 2020 Sigmar Gabriel But, as environment minister, I am very interested in a thriving German automobile industry, because I can only pay for the rising costs of environmental protection at home and abroad if there are people in Germany with jobs and who pay taxes.
3 December 2020 Nina Fedoroff If there are more and more environmental refugees, they are going to end up on your doorstep too.

3 December 2020 Keith Olbermann At Current, television is all we do – that’s our business. We don’t have amusement parks I have to worry about, we don’t have environmental cases against us, we don’t have a series of outdoor-advertising companies.

3 December 2020 Galen Rowell There is no question that photography has played a major role in the environmental movement.
3 December 2020 Gary L. Francione There is no ‘need’ for us to eat meat, dairy or eggs. Indeed, these foods are increasingly linked to various human diseases and animal agriculture is an environmental disaster for the planet.
3 December 2020 Roger Tory Peterson Birds are indicators of the environment. If they are in trouble, we know we’ll soon be in trouble.
3 December 2020 David R. Brower It is absolutely imperative that we protect, preserve and pass on this genetic heritage for man and every other living thing in as good a condition as we received it.
3 December 2020 Warren Christopher Environmental degradation, overpopulation, refugees, narcotics, terrorism, world crime movements, and organized crime are worldwide problems that don’t stop at a nation’s borders.
3 December 2020 Ron Wyden If China is helping its domestic industries charge an artificially low price for solar panels and other environmental goods, then China is violating international trade rules that it agreed to when it became a member of the World Trade Organization.
