Environmental Quotes

The genetics of autism are real, but there are also environmental triggers Picture Quote #1

We got everyone’s attention, but we didn’t solve any environmental problems Picture Quote #1

Wealth and vegetation go together, and that exacerbates environmental injustice. The poor bear the burden of degraded environments Picture Quote #1

All of our current environmental problems are unanticipated harmful consequences of our existing technology. There is no basis for believing that technology will miraculously stop causing new and unanticipated problems while it is solving the problems that it previously produced Picture Quote #1

Bad news, it’s going to be a huge environmental disaster, the oil rig down there in the Gulf of Mexico. The good news is they think now that the oil spill will be diluted by the melting ice caps Picture Quote #1

What is the environmental policy of the Republican Party? When I ask that question, I get a blank stare, if I’m president of the United States, we’re going to address climate change and CO2 emissions in a business-friendly way Picture Quote #1

Christian people should surely have been in the vanguard of the movement for environmental responsibility, because of our doctrines of creation and stewardship. Did God make the world? Does he sustain it? Has he committed its resources to our care? His personal concern for his own creation should be sufficient to inspire us to be equally concerned Picture Quote #1

We know what we have to do. And we know how to do it. If we fail to convert our self-destructing economy into one that is environmentally sustainable, future generations will be overwhelmed by environmental degradation and social disintegration. Simply stated, if our generation does not turn things around, our children may not have the option of doing so Picture Quote #1

It is essential that we take steps to prevent chemical substances from becoming environmental hazards. Unless we develop better methods to assure adequate testing of chemicals, we will be inviting the environmental crisis of the future Picture Quote #1

Environmental activism against the resource industry is widespread all over the world, but at the same time we have to realise that these are basic materials on which civilisation depends. We need to tap natural resources in a sustainable manner Picture Quote #1

I’ve won some awards. ‘Time’ magazine designated me as one of the environmental heroes of the 20th century. Oh, and I’ve got some honorary citizenships, like from the Conch Republic of the Florida Keys. But the one thing I am proud of is I didn’t get the Chevron environmental award. Never did get that one Picture Quote #1

I believe that climate change is the great global crisis that we face, environmental crisis. I believe that if you’re serious about climate change, you don’t encourage the excavation and transportation of very dirty oil Picture Quote #1

They’re a lot of great scientists and their mission is to protect people. It’s the Environmental Protection Agency, but it’s really a people protection agency. And they’re out there trying to do their job and do the science Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I feel like there isn’t enough Prozac in the world to make Environmental Protection Agency people feel better about their jobs. They’re going out there, they’re trying to protect Americans and then time and time and time again they get their knees cut off at the policy level Picture Quote #1

The single greatest issue for me as an environmentalist is climate change. I’d have to say that climate change is the single most important issue facing the environmental community and communities as a whole Picture Quote #1

The second reason to abandon environmental religion is more pressing. Religions think they know it all, but the unhappy truth of the environment is that we are dealing with incredibly complex, evolving systems, and we usually are not certain how best to proceed. Those who are certain are demonstrating their personality type, or their belief system, not the state of their knowledge Picture Quote #1

I think the Sierra Club is the environmental group that has the best chance of really accomplishing things. It’s well known, and it actually gets down to doing the dirty work of protecting the environment Picture Quote #1

Regulate the banks, get money out of elections; raise the minimum wage, environmental issues. They’re all very important and the Occupy movement made a difference. It shifted not only the discourse but to some extent, action on these issues Picture Quote #1

With time environmental issues got much more complicated. It is pretty easy, if you know what you are doing, to stop a company from pouring poison into a lake where kids swim. It is much harder to address all the myriad greenhouse gases emitted by different sources - from petrochemical refineries to hundreds of millions of peasants cutting down trees for their incredibly inefficient cook stoves Picture Quote #1

Obama wants to build such things as smart electrical grids and high-speed rail lines, which will offer big environmental improvements. Another obvious thing is that large-scale project financing is virtually frozen, so a lot of renewable energy projects are on hold. If the system doesn’t get unclogged before the developers run out of cash, they will be cancelled. Money matters, and we are racing against time Picture Quote #1

I have a lot of intention behind what I put out there. The reason all this stuff I do works together, the environmental and social, collaborating with ballet companies to score a show, the bike tour - all of that stuff comes together through community building with music Picture Quote #1

There are clearly environmental factors that can decrease the incidence and death from cancer. I would still say though that the majority of cancers cannot be prevented at this point, but they can be treated and they can be treated two major ways Picture Quote #1

On almost every environmental issue I care about, in fact, I’ve been wrong at one point or another. I used to think that climate change was no big deal, that most environmental problems were massive exaggerations, that oil reserves were effectively unlimited, and more Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of great organizations who are fighting for food and environmental safety in this country. The Environmental Working Group, Just Label It, Food Democracy Now, and the Center for Food Safety, to name a few Picture Quote #1

Wouldn’t it help Americans more, in the long run, if we were forced to accept some responsibility for the environmental wreckage we prefer to assume is totally out of our control? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Politicians usually get the blame for dragging their feet on environmental issues. And fair enough. Most of them do just that. But the blame isn’t theirs alone. For politicians afraid of losing votes, a bristling media waiting to transform good green ideas into monsters is a colossal disincentive Picture Quote #1

I reflect back 35 years ago, and look how far we have come in America with our environmental policy to improve the conditions of our air and water, and we have had some real successes Picture Quote #1

The Chinese have figured out that they have a giant environmental problem. Folks in Beijing, some days, literally can’t breathe. Over a million Chinese die prematurely every year because of air pollution Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
