The sooner we get started with alternative energy sources and recognize that fossil fuels makes us less secure as a nation, and more dangerous as a planet, the better off we'll be.
— Lindsey Graham
If we want to address global warming, along with the other environmental problems associated with our continued rush to burn our precious fossil fuels as quickly as possible, we must learn to use our resources more wisely, kick our addiction, and quickly start turning to sources of energy that have fewer negative impacts.
— David Suzuki
By polluting clear water with slime you will never find good drinking water.
— Aeschylus
There is a muscular energy in sunlight corresponding to the spiritual energy of wind.
— Annie Dillard
I see humanity now as one vast plant, needing for its highest fulfillment only love, the natural blessings of the great outdoors, and intelligent crossing and selection.
— Luther Burbank
People blame their environment. There is only one person to blame - and only one - themselves.
— Robert Collier
Journey with me to a true commitment to our environment. Journey with me to the serenity of leaving to our children a planet in equilibrium.
— Paul Tsongas
I firmly believe that we can have a healthy environment and a sustainable timber industry.
— Frank Murkowski
I think the future for solar energy is bright.
— Ken Salazar
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.
— Maurice Strong
You may be able to fool the voters, but not the atmosphere.
— Donella Meadows
Environmental policy must strike a balance between the earth's best interests and our citizen's pressing needs.
— Jim Clyburn
The most important environmental issue is one that is rarely mentioned, and that is the lack of a conservation ethic in our culture.
— Gaylord Nelson
I've always been a strong supporter of environmental protection and initiatives in that area. But I'm willing to set priorities. If we have to make reductions in one place, we'll have to-in order to increase another place, I'm willing to do that.
— Judd Gregg
Advertising is an environmental striptease for a world of abundance.
— Marshall McLuhan
We have fought for social justice. We have fought for economic justice. We have fought for environmental justice. We have fought for criminal justice. Now we must add a new fight - the fight for electoral justice.
— Barbara Boxer
The environmental crisis is a global problem, and only global action will resolve it.
— Barry Commoner
I have a private plane. But I fly commercial when I go to environmental conferences.
— Arnold Schwarzenegger
The planet's biggest problems have to do with sustainability, environmental decline, global poverty, disease, conflict and so forth. Really, they're all interconnected - it's one big problem, which is that the way we're doing things can't go on.
— Alex Steffen
The Safe Drinking Water Act, the safety provisions of the Clean Water Acts, the Clean Air Act, the Superfund Law - the gas industry is exempt from all these basic environmental and worker protections. They don't have to disclose the chemicals they use. They don't have to play by the same rules as anybody else.
— Josh Fox
Incredibly, oil and gas companies don't have to pay certain environmental costs that amount to small change to them, while an offshore wind project start-up is faced with fees that could mean the difference between building a wind farm and packing up and going home.
— Chellie Pingree
Fundamentally, if you look at where the environmental issues are coming from, it's all because of humans and our impact on the environment, so while it's true that one individual is not going to sufficiently fix the environment, it is a necessary thing.
— David Filo
Environmental quality was drastically improved while economic activity grew by the simple expedient of removing lead from gasoline - which prevented it from entering the environment.
— Barry Commoner
What I remain opposed to is the idea that David Cameron could go around and give up workers' rights, give up environmental protection, give up a whole load of things that are very important.
— Jeremy Corbyn
When we go to the store, we bring home more than food - we bring home traces of broader environmental problems. But we can use our shopping carts and dinner plates to help solve some of those problems.
— Frances Beinecke
It's Nixon who created the Environmental Protection Agency. Clean Air and Water Acts. Endangered Species Act. Promoted affirmative action. One could go on and on with Nixon as a New Deal liberal on domestic policy and a hawk, but one with great geo-political skills.
— Douglas Brinkley
Threats that could wipe out the bulk of life on earth abound. Planetary catastrophe could come in the form of a killer asteroid impact, the eruption of massive supervolcanoes, a nearby gamma ray burst that sterilizes the earth, or by human-driven environmental collapse.
— Ramez Naam
When I look at China's environmental problems, the real barrier is not lack of technology or money. It's lack of motivation.
— Ma Jun
Environmental groups are not completely against dams. We approve of appropriate development.
— Ma Jun
In every case, the environmental hazards were made known only by independent scientists, who were often bitterly opposed by the corporations responsible for the hazards.
— Barry Commoner
I have American in-laws, and I care about the environment. We don't use disposable diapers, which, of course, creates an environmental problem of our own.
— Yakov Smirnoff
The planet's environmental woes tend to be overlooked as we scramble for the latest high-tech gizmos - and conveniently ignore their energy consumption.
— Sheherazade Goldsmith
I think we have grave problems. I am very much concerned about environmental questions, even though in Finnish society, we are not facing the most urgent problems.
— Harri Holkeri
Businesses typically look at issues like price, quality, time of delivery. They don't often think about social and environmental impact because they're focused on their financial bottom line.
— Jerry Greenfield
The genetics of autism are real, but there are also environmental triggers.
— Elizabeth Emken
Chinese brands will face many obstacles when marketing to Western consumers. Beyond the associations with poor quality and unsound environmental practices, they generally do not have the marketing capabilities or budgets to build powerful global brands.
— Nirmalya Kumar
I'm such an advocate for animal rights and environmental rights.
— Beau Garrett
I think the cost of energy will come down when we make this transition to renewable energy.
— Al Gore
Nature is regulating our climate for free. Mother Nature, she's been doing that for free, for a long, long time. Now do you really want to get in there and do geo-engineering and all this kind of stuff?
— Thomas Friedman
Transparency, accountability and sustainability have become the slogans of the market leaders. Companies carry out environmental and social audits to court the consumer, and even the bluest chips woo organisations such as Greenpeace and Amnesty.
— Noreena Hertz
Climate change is the central environmental ill of our time. We have an obligation to protect our children from the dangers of this widening scourge, and we aren't yet doing enough about it.
— Frances Beinecke
Strong, enforceable environmental protections will not only help protect our planet for future generations, it will also level the playing field for small-and-medium-sized U.S. businesses by raising environmental standards.
— Suzan DelBene
Biofuels such as ethanol require enormous amounts of cropland and end up displacing either food crops or natural wilderness, neither of which is good.
— Elon Musk
One of the most important lessons we can glean from the environmental movement is to 'think globally and act locally.'
— Mike Love
In the rich world, the environmental situation has improved dramatically. In the United States, the most important environmental indicator, particulate air pollution, has been cut by more than half since 1955, rivers and coastal waters have dramatically improved, and forests are increasing.
— Bjorn Lomborg
The trends that are shaping the twenty-first-century world embody both promise and peril. Globalization, for example, has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty while contributing to social fragmentation and a massive increase in inequality, not to mention serious environmental damage.
— Klaus Schwab
They claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neighbors away from her, and deface her with their buildings and their refuse.
— Sitting Bull
We ignore slow environmental changes unless they are crisis-driven, such as hurricanes in Florida.
— Natalie Jeremijenko
We may achieve climate, but weather is thrust upon us.
— O. Henry
A very Faustian choice is upon us: whether to accept our corrosive and risky behavior as the unavoidable price of population and economic growth, or to take stock of ourselves and search for a new environmental ethic.
— E. O. Wilson
If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals; if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God, they are called developers.
— Joseph Wood Krutch
As you heat the planet up, it's just like boiling a pot.
— Elon Musk
All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people and harder - and ultimately impossible to solve - with ever more people.
— David Attenborough
Over and over, we hear politicians say they can't spend our tax dollars on environmental protection when the economy is so fragile.
— David Suzuki
Our nation has abundant clean energy resources, and tapping them will generate jobs, make the air safer to breathe, and tackle climate change - the greatest environmental crisis of our time.
— Frances Beinecke
Moral codes adjust themselves to environmental conditions.
— Will Durant
A majority of American citizens are now becoming skeptical of the claim that our carbon footprints, resulting from our use of fossil fuels, are going to lead to climatic calamities. But governments are not yet listening to the citizens.
— John Coleman
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.
— Gary L. Francione
Viewed from a holistic ecological perspective, some meat - such as conscientiously hunted animals - involves less suffering and environmental damage than arable agriculture, while both of these are significantly less harmful than indiscriminately purchasing meat on the market.
— Tristram Stuart
The goal must be to expand ourselves beyond one field of focus and use our improved access to information to solve the very real and extreme economic, environmental, and resource challenges we face as an interconnected, global society.
— Naveen Jain
Some of the environmental lobbyists of the Western nations are the salt of the earth, but many of them are elitists.
— Norman Borlaug
There are a tremendous amount of environmental issues that are on the table.
— Ed Rendell
There's a lionfish cookbook put out by the Reef Environmental Educational Foundation, and it tells you how to catch them, how to clean them.
— Edith Widder
I really believe in the environmental movement right now - it only takes a little effort to make a big difference.
— Brooke Burke
No one should be able to enter a wilderness by mechanical means.
— Garrett Hardin
When we realize we can make a buck cleaning up the environment, it will be done!
— Dennis Weaver
If we bestow but a very little attention to the economy of the animal creation, we shall find manifest examples of premeditation, perseverance, resolution, and consumate artifice, in order to effect their purpose.
— William Bartram
We assume that everything's becoming more efficient, and in an immediate sense that's true; our lives are better in many ways. But that improvement has been gained through a massively inefficient use of natural resources.
— Paul Hawken
We're not trying to reinvent the wheel; for any environmental organization to claim sole responsibility for any kind of victory is insane, because everybody attacks these problems as a group.
— Ted Danson
A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmental damaging consumption patterns.
— Maurice Strong
Human civilization as we know it is like the Titanic headed for the iceberg, whether the iceberg be nuclear, environmental or terrorism-related.
— Marianne Williamson
I think that you form the way that you act from others around you it's a kind of an environmental thing. 
— Sophie Turner
We copied laws and regulations from western countries, but enforcement remains weak, and environmental litigation is still quite near impossible.
— Ma Jun
You want to keep the severity of our environmental problems in mind enough to keep yourself motivated but not enough to paralyze you into depression.
— Sara Gilbert
I have a huge fan following in Bellary, and when they met me, they told me about their problems. I have seen mining done without proper safety measures and not taking environmental protection into account.
— Pawan Kalyan
Shrimp farms are a scourge on the earth, frankly, from an environmental point of view. They pour huge amounts of pollutants into the ocean. They also pollute their next-door neighbors.
— Jane Poynter
I'm a latecomer to the environmental issue, which for years seemed to me like an excuse for more government regulation. But I can see that in rich societies, voters are paying less attention to economic issues and more to issues of the spirit, including the environment.
— David Frum
With the mining sites, I found a subject matter that carried forth my fascination with the undoing of the landscape, in terms of both its formal beauty and its environmental politics.
— David Maisel
I thought I was gonna be an attorney, so I went to Dartmouth and I was a government major and I minored in environmental policy, and I didn't do anything academically around the arts.
— Aisha Tyler
If people are prepared to eat locally and seasonally, then they probably do pretty well in terms of environmental impact.
— Peter Singer
Toxins love to get you while you're young. Lead, mercury, secondhand smoke and sundry other environmental nasties do a lot more damage when tissue is immature, vulnerable and growing than when it's mature and comparatively fixed.
— Jeffrey Kluger
If we're going to pass international trade agreements, as we should, they should have similar kind of rules, not as high a wage as obviously as a steelworker in the U.S. or in Lorain, Ohio, but certainly rules on the environment and worker safety. You go to Mexico, you don't see those kinds of worker protections or environmental safeguards.
— Sherrod Brown
During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come.
— Michael Franti
All too often, the conversation about appropriate and balanced environmental stewardship gets caught up in partisan politics. Yet, this conversation is key to the preservation of our great country for generations to come, as important as ensuring we have fiscally responsible policies to secure our future.
— Chris Gibson
