“The most radical thing you can do is stay home.”
“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.” “The care of the earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all, our most pleasing responsibility.” “Eating is an agricultural act.” “To_cherish_what_remains_of_the_Earth_and_to_foster_its_renewal_is_our_only_legitimate_hope_of_survival.” |
