How to pry the tourists out of their automobiles, out of their back-breaking upholstered mechanized wheelchairs and onto their feet, onto the strange warmth and solidity of Mother Earth again? This is the problem which the Park Service should confront directly, not evasively, and which it cannot resolve by simply submitting and conforming to the automobile habit. ~ Edward Abbey
Environmental Conservation quotes by Edward Abbey
Extinction, the irrevocable loss of a species, causes pain that can never find relief. It is an ache that will pass from generation to generation for the rest of human history. ~ Callum Roberts
Environmental Conservation quotes by Callum Roberts
Environment isn't asking us to conserve her for her but for our future generations. ~ Mohith Agadi
Environmental Conservation quotes by Mohith Agadi
Corporate Responsibility; Environmental Preservation; Consumer Protection; Sex & Race Discrimination (they must mean Sex and Race Liberation). ~ John Cage
Environmental Conservation quotes by John Cage
Yes sir, yes madam, I entreat you, get out of those motorized wheelchairs, get off your foam rubber backsides, stand up straight like men! like women! like human beings! and walk-walk-WALK upon our sweet and blessed land! ~ Edward Abbey
Environmental Conservation quotes by Edward Abbey
Trees are great messengers of peace. One of the worst crimes of modern humankind is indiscriminate cutting down of the trees, and forests, in the pursuit of establishing civilization. No wonder, that modern civilized society has everything but peace. ~ Banani Ray
Environmental Conservation quotes by Banani Ray
All I really want is for our world to become increasingly more beautiful. ~ Fennel Hudson
Environmental Conservation quotes by Fennel Hudson
Throughout my life, I have never stopped to strategize about my next steps. I often just keep walking along, through whichever door opens. I have been on a journey and this journey has never stopped. When the journey is acknowledged and sustained by those I work with, they are a source of inspiration, energy and encouragement. They are the reasons I kept walking, and will keep walking, as long as my knees hold out. ~ Wangari Maathai
Environmental Conservation quotes by Wangari Maathai
So you know that all living things share the same energy source and that every action that humans do to nature will affect everything on this planet. ~ Alison Cooklin
Environmental Conservation quotes by Alison Cooklin
All forests in the world need to be given the same name, so that people can understand that there is only one forest in the world and that every burning forest is his own forest, no matter where in the world! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Environmental Conservation quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
This sweet virginal primitive land will metaphorically breathe a sigh of relief
like a whisper of wind
when we are all and finally gone and the place and its creations can return to their ancient procedures unobserved and undisturbed by the busy, anxious, brooding consciousness of man. ~ Edward Abbey
Environmental Conservation quotes by Edward Abbey
If you want to save the humankind,
you should first take care of Nature.
It's the legacy that we leave behind,
That brings us hope, that's for sure! ~ Ana Claudia Antunes
Environmental Conservation quotes by Ana Claudia Antunes
Stream is stream. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Environmental Conservation quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
What obligation is more binding than to protect the cherished, to defend whoever or whatever cannot defend itself, and to nurture in turn that which has given nourishment? I'm reminded of words written by John Seed, an Australian environmentalist. When he began considering these questions, he believed, "I am protecting the rain forest." But as his thought evolved, he realized, "I am part of the rain forest protecting myself. ~ Richard Nelson
Environmental Conservation quotes by Richard Nelson
To grow a sanctuary from seedlings takes time. But time has a way of going faster than you realize, and before you're aware of it you'll be rewarded hundredfold for your efforts. ~ David Kline
Environmental Conservation quotes by David Kline
Most of what I know about environmental conservation I learned from my father, who has been a leader within the movement for over 30 years. ~ Edward Norton
Environmental Conservation quotes by Edward Norton
A tree has roots in the soil yet reaches to the sky. It tells us that in order to aspire we need to be grounded and that no matter how high we go it is from our roots that we draw sustenance. It is a reminder to all of us who have had success that we cannot forget where we came from. It signifies that no matter how powerful we become in government or how many awards we receive, our power and strength and our ability to reach our goals depend on the people, those whose work remain unseen, who are the soil out of which we grow, the shoulders on which we stand ~ Wangari Maathai
Environmental Conservation quotes by Wangari Maathai
Perhaps the problem is not that we didn't work well enough together, but that we worked to well. In fact, maybe if we hadn't worked so well together, we wouldn't be destroying the earth so rapidly. ~ Steve Van Matre
Environmental Conservation quotes by Steve Van Matre
God loves cleanliness.
The environment must be kept clean. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Environmental Conservation quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The world is a beautiful place,
you just don't see it all the time. ~ Phil Mitchell
Environmental Conservation quotes by Phil Mitchell
If I could go back to a point in history to try to get things to come out differently, I would go back and tell moses to go up the mountain again and get the other tablet. Because the Ten Commandments just tell us what we are supped to do with one another, not a word about our relationship to the earth. Genesis starts with these commands: multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it. We have multiplied very well, we have replenished our populations very well, we have subdued it all too well, and we don't have any other instruction. ~ David Brower
Environmental Conservation quotes by David Brower
Save the earth! Are you kidding?
If earth needs to save itself, we don't live now boasting about it. ~ Toba Beta
Environmental Conservation quotes by Toba Beta
Plant a tree in your lifetime. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Environmental Conservation quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
I am no ecological Pollyana. I have borne, and will continue to bear, feelings of wholehearted melancholy over the ecological state of the earth. How could I not? How could anyone not? But I am unwilling to become a hand-wringing nihilist, as some environmental 'realists' seem to believe is the more mature posture. Instead, I choose to dwell, as Emily Dickinson famously suggested, in possibility, where we cannot predict what will happen but we make space for it, whatever it is, and realize that our participation has value. This is grown-up optimism, where our bondedness with the rest of creation, a sense of profound interaction, and a belief in our shared ingenuity give meaning to our lives and actions on behalf of the more-than-human world. ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt
Environmental Conservation quotes by Lyanda Lynn Haupt
More and more, paddling the Yellowstone feels like that bedside visit, like we are attending to a friend in dire straits, a friend whom we have seen in the full bloom of health, but with whom, now, there is little to say and only our companionship to offer. ~ Alan S. Kesselheim
Environmental Conservation quotes by Alan S. Kesselheim
Most of us still believe in the intrinsic value of nature, but I think the first century of the environmental/conservation movement demonstrated pretty clearly that this value cannot compel a civilization-wide shift toward sustainable behavior and enterprise when stacked up against the urgent economic and social needs of 7 billion people, most of whom are struggling to get out of poverty. ~ Edward Norton
Environmental Conservation quotes by Edward Norton
The history of the world will, one day, be defined by the people who witnessed the tragedy of impending extinction and were able to turn humanity's destructive patterns into creative solutions. ~ Jennifer Skiff
Environmental Conservation quotes by Jennifer Skiff
Somebody has to be tireless or the fast buck operators would asphalt the entire coast, fill every bay and slay every living thing incapable of carrying a wallet. ~ John D. MacDonald
Environmental Conservation quotes by John D. MacDonald
All over the world the wildlife that I write about is in grave danger. It is being exterminated by what we call the progress of civilization. ~ Gerald Durrell
Environmental Conservation quotes by Gerald Durrell
According to leading researchers, however, only about 10 to 15 percent of cancers are genetic in origin; the rest are caused by a combination of environmental and lifestyle factors. ~ Dharma Singh Khalsa
Environmental Conservation quotes by Dharma Singh Khalsa
You will die but the carbon will not; its career does not end with you. It will return to the soil, and there a plant may take it up again in time, sending it once more on a cycle of plant and animal life. ~ Jacob Bronowski
Environmental Conservation quotes by Jacob Bronowski
There is no question that photography has played a major role in the environmental movement. ~ Galen Rowell
Environmental Conservation quotes by Galen Rowell
The DESMEC people just wanted to have on record the fact that they held a hearing, and the opposition was just whining. That's not a debate. It's a waste of time."

"You think asking that the environment be protected is whining?"

"It is when you expect them to adopt some mythical flawless plan offering perfect environmental protection. Nothing's perfect in this world," Yukawa said, his pace quickening. Narumi had to trot to keep up.

"We're not asking them to do anything. We're asking them to not destroy the environment. It's not like they have to go out of their way to help. They just have to avoid doing anything stupid."

"And who decides what's stupid? You? ~ Keigo Higashino
Environmental Conservation quotes by Keigo Higashino
It will be impossible for us to maintain the health of the organism called the earth unless we feel and care for other organisms as we do for ourselves - and unless we take action. ~ Ilchi Lee
Environmental Conservation quotes by Ilchi Lee
His dimples should come with an advisory label: Will cause hearts to flutter and panties to spontaneously combust. ~ Robin Bielman
Environmental Conservation quotes by Robin Bielman
Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition. ~ John Portman
Environmental Conservation quotes by John Portman
We tend to be more environmental at home than at work, regardless of the industry we're in. ~ Gale Anne Hurd
Environmental Conservation quotes by Gale Anne Hurd
Nature had refused to offer herself to them. The water, the green, the mammalian, the tropical, the semitropical, the leafy, the verdant, the motherloving citrus, all of it was denied them and had been denied them so long that with each day, each project, it became more and more impossible to conceive of a time wen it had not been denied them. The prospect of Mother Nature opening her legs and inviting Los Angeles back into her ripeness was, like the disks of water shimmering in the last foothill reservoirs patrolled by the National Guard, evaporating daily. ~ Claire Vaye Watkins
Environmental Conservation quotes by Claire Vaye Watkins
Every concerned citizen and policy maker should read this book. The environmentalists will hate it. The world's destitute masses will love it. And everyone will be challenged by it to reexamine their beliefs and the environmental establishment's claims. ~ Niger Innis
Environmental Conservation quotes by Niger Innis
For those who want to understand the issues of the environmental crisis, Encounters with the Archdruid is a superb book. McPhee reveals more nuances of the value revolution that dominates the new age of ecology than most writers could pack into a volume twice as long. I marvel at his capacity to listen intently and extract the essence of a man and his philosophy in the fewest possible words. ~ Stewart Udall
Environmental Conservation quotes by Stewart Udall
What causes autism? As far as we know in 2013, there is no single gene or single environmental factor that accounts for the more than 1 million Americans with ASDs. ~ Thomas R. Insel
Environmental Conservation quotes by Thomas R. Insel
Our stewardship of the Earth is brief. We owe it to those who follow to keep that in perspective, to be responsible passengers along the way. ~ George H. W. Bush
Environmental Conservation quotes by George H. W. Bush
Our view of nature will influence the way we treat nature, and our view of human nature will affect our understanding of human responsibility. ~ Ian Barbour
Environmental Conservation quotes by Ian Barbour
We shall never fully understand nature (or ourselves), and certainly never respect it, until we dissociate the wild from the notion of usability - however innocent and harmless the use. For it is the general uselessness of so much of nature that lies at the root of our ancient hostility and indifference to it. ~ John Fowles
Environmental Conservation quotes by John Fowles
Switches among identities occur in response to changes in emotional state or to environmental demands, resulting in another identity emerging to assume control. Because different identities have different roles, experiences, emotions, memories, and beliefs, the therapist is constantly contending with their competing points of view. Helping the identities to be aware of one another as legitimate parts of the self and to negotiate and resolve their conflicts is at the very core of the therapeutic process. It is countertherapeutic for the therapist to treat any alternate identity as if it were more "real" or more important than any other.

Guidelines for Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder in Adults, Third Revision ~ James A. Chu
Environmental Conservation quotes by James A. Chu
Nations are in effect ceding portions of their sovereignty to the international community and beginning to create a new system of international environmental governance. ~ Lester R. Brown
Environmental Conservation quotes by Lester R. Brown
It is vital that we avoid any hint of moral superiority in our dealings with one another in the environmental movement; if it developed into factionalism it would destroy us, as factionalism has destroyed so many other progressive movements in America. ~ Edward Abbey
Environmental Conservation quotes by Edward Abbey
Most evolving lineages, human or otherwise, when threatened with extinction, don't do anything special to avoid it. ~ George C. Williams
Environmental Conservation quotes by George C. Williams
The oceans are in trouble. There are some serious problems out there that I believe are not clear to many people. My hope is to continually find new ways of creating images and stories that both celebrate the sea yet also highlight environmental problems. Photography can be a powerful instrument for change. ~ Brian Skerry
Environmental Conservation quotes by Brian Skerry
The processes of corporate power do not work in isolation. The economic and legal mechanisms that allow the privatization of the commonwealth, externalization of costs, predatory economic practices, political influence-buying, manipulation of regulation and deregulation, control of the media, propaganda and advertising in schools, and the use of police and military forces to protect the property of the wealthy-all of these work synergistically to weave a complex web of power.

Activists have dedicated lifetimes of necessary work to deal with the results of corporate power, by trying to mitigate the results of power: an ever-increasing disparity in wealth and power and continual economic, political, environmental, and human rights crises. For social justice campaigns to be strategic, it is also necessary to examine how privatization, externalization, monopoly, and other corporate power processes have been institutionalized. This institutionalization is exemplified in the structural adjustment programs of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, and in recent "free" trade agreements which have culminated in the creation of the World Trade Organization. An understanding of such institutions provides a necessary tool for achieving the long-term goals of environmental sustainability and social justice. ~ George Draffan
Environmental Conservation quotes by George Draffan
We know that acid rain has had no significant environmental effect on trees or forests in the United States ... It is based on popular myths and half-baked theories. ~ Haley Barbour
Environmental Conservation quotes by Haley Barbour
I think the work in front of us is the first work task given our forbearers, which is to care for the garden. Now because it's the first thing commanded, maybe it's the first thing forgotten. But it is the first admonition and it is absolutely unequivocal. It is part of right livelihood. ~ Wes Jackson
Environmental Conservation quotes by Wes Jackson
I fully support the goal of species protection and conservation and believe that recovery and ultimately delisting of species should be the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's top priority under ESA. ~ Dennis Cardoza
Environmental Conservation quotes by Dennis Cardoza
Environmental pollution is an incurable disease. It can only be prevented. ~ Barry Commoner
Environmental Conservation quotes by Barry Commoner
One must leave an inheritance to their next generation in form of safer environment. ~ Mohith Agadi
Environmental Conservation quotes by Mohith Agadi
You lose track of time when you're deep in conservation with an otherworldly being made of pure Loric energy. ~ Pittacus Lore
Environmental Conservation quotes by Pittacus Lore
My entry into the environmental arena was through the issue that so dramatically - and destructively - demonstrates the link between science and social action: nuclear weapons. ~ Barry Commoner
Environmental Conservation quotes by Barry Commoner
Today, the UK must be the pioneer of a new model of economic change, that integrates social and environmental consideration. This is not just a question of values and moral duty. It is about our economy's capacity to sustain itself ~ David Miliband
