Zac Goldsmith Quotes

I do not organize my private life with an eye to my career Picture Quote #1
We always hear from newspapers that while people understand the environmental challenge, they are unwilling to stomach the solutions. The trouble is, we only ever hear about the solutions from the media, and for whatever reason, they are almost always caricatured beyond recognition. If there’s no appetite for green, it’s not surprising Picture Quote #1
More than half the world’s largest 100 economies are corporations. They have no loyalties to place or citizens Picture Quote #1
Europe believes that providing clear labelling for genetically modified food is a consumer right, but such practice is absolutely opposed by the vast majority of states in the U.S Picture Quote #1
The Conservatives are a confusing lot. They first denied climate change was a serious issue and then suggested strengthening the nuclear industry as a solution to it. They oppose the European Union, but support joining North American Free Trade Agreement, despite its obvious failure Picture Quote #1
I am cynical about politicians. My experience of politicians has been thoroughly negative. I have found that politicians are people that can not be taken at face value. There are very few politicians I have been impressed with Picture Quote #1

GM has never been about feeding the world or tackling environmental problems. It is and has always been about control of the global food economy by a tiny handful of giant corporations. It’s not wicked to question that process. It is wicked not to Picture Quote #1
Green’ is likely to be a big issue in the 2008 U.S. presidential election - largely in response to George Bush’s suicidal refusal to engage with environmental issues Picture Quote #1
Politics colours everything, and anyone who wants change is necessarily political. As an environmental campaigner more or less since I left school in the early 90s, I have always been involved in lobbying, campaigning and pushing for changes Picture Quote #1
We’ve all heard of the surveys revealing that teenagers think cows lay eggs, and others where children can identify more brand logos than trees, by a staggering margin. My view is that children will form a significant part of the green fightback. They instinctively understand the value of the environment Picture Quote #1
A pound invested in energy efficiency buys seven times more energy solution than a pound invested in nuclear power Picture Quote #1
Sense About Science is much more than an innocent fact-checking service. It is a spin-off of a bizarre political network that began life as the ultra-left Revolutionary Communist Party and switched over to extreme corporate libertarianism when it launched ‘Living Marxism’ magazine in the late eighties Picture Quote #1

Climate change - for so long an abstract concern for an academic few - is no longer so abstract. Even the Bush administration’s Climate Change Science Programme reports ‘clear evidence of human influences on the climate system.’ 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
In North America, more than half of all children travel to school by bus. We need a similar programme in London Picture Quote #1
The two million or so residents who live beneath the Heathrow flight path are accustomed to the noise. However, they are right to feel that any expansion would represent an unacceptable broken promise Picture Quote #1
I don’t know David Cameron very well. I like him. I think you can judge a book by its cover - whoever said you can’t is wrong - that’s the whole point of nature giving us intuition, instinct and so on. I think the cover is pretty good Picture Quote #1
While big business gain subsidies and political access, small businesses drown in red tape, and individuals now risk being classified as terrorists for complaining about it. Economic globalisation is about homogenising differences in the worlds’ markets, cultures, tastes and traditions. It’s about giving big business access to a global market Picture Quote #1

Even Karaoke needs higher standards than I can reach, so I have gone great lengths to avoid being bullied into it Picture Quote #1
I wanted to weave a green thread through the Conservative party; that’s my job, and I signed up imagining that I would be in a very small minority within my party, possibly even on my own, battling away on these issues Picture Quote #1
All schools should teach children basic cooking skills. Every school should be able to buy sustainable, good quality food wherever possible from local sources. Every school should include food-growing in the curriculum. For some, that will mean twinning with willing farms. For others, it will mean literally building their own small farms Picture Quote #1
The food system is not a free market. In this country, we impose reasonably high standards of animal welfare - but we haven’t applied the same standards to food we import, so all we’re really doing is exporting cruelty from Britain elsewhere, and at the same time undermining our farmers Picture Quote #1
Green’ cannot be allowed to become an excuse for stealth taxes. And nor should ‘green taxes’ be about punishment. Instead, they should represent a switch of emphasis. So if domestic flights are taxed, it should be on the absolute condition that the money is ploughed into improving the alternatives, such as trains Picture Quote #1
Yes, Heathrow is the U.K.’s busiest airport, but new runways or a new airport are not the answer. It is far better to focus on improving capacity Picture Quote #1
