Governor Palin’s Environmentalism???!!

Check out this post on treehugger.com. “A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I’m not one though who would attribute it to being man-made. “
 Palin’s quote
WTF? 

Positive Contributions

“I would say that the truth is that everyone living in North America could be more green, and it’s important that when people start doing this work they focus on what they can accomplish without getting too guilty. People need to feel like they are making positive contributions moving forward.” Amy Wakeland

Guardians

When considering our relationship to our environment, it would serve us well to act as guardians rather than as parasites. 

Sandra Postel, author of Last Oasis: Facing Water Scarcity

For many of us, water simply flows from a faucet, and we think little about it beyond this point of contact. We have lost a sense of respect for the wild river, for the complex workings of a wetland, for the intricate web of life that water supports.

Gaylord Nelson, founder of Earth Day

The ultimate test of man’s conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard.

Dalai Lama

It is our collective and individual responsibility to protect and nurture the global family, to support its weaker members and to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live.

D. H. Lawrence

Water is H2O, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one, but there is also a third thing, that makes it water and nobody knows what that is.

Issac Asimov, author of Asimov’s Book of Science and Nature Quotations

The Law of conservation of energy tells us we can’t get something for nothing, but we refuse to believe it.

Barbara Ward, author of Only One Earth

We have forgotten how to be good guests, how to walk lightly on the earth as its other creatures do.
