Nature

If you look at the science about what is happening on earth and aren't pessimistic, you don't understand data. But if you meet the people who are working to restore this earth and you aren't optimistic, you haven't got a pulse.

Working for the earth is not a way to get rich, it is a way to be rich.

You are brilliant, and the earth is hiring. The earth couldn't afford to send any recruiters or limos to your school. It sent you rain, sunsets, ripe cherries, night blooming jasmine, and that unbelievably cute person you are dating. Take the hint.

Working for the earth is not a way to get rich, it is a way to be rich.

For us to enjoy peace, we need to manage our resources more responsibly, more sustainably, more accountably, more transparently, and we need to share these resources more equitably.

We need to develop cultures of peace, and cultures of peace require that we learn to listen to each other, that we learn to dialogue with each other, that we learn to respect each other.

I'm doing the best I can.

This is your time. Take it on. Don't be afraid to lean into the wind, love the earth in all of its natural glories and take care of each other.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

Not from above, but from below. Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.

I do not believe that the poison clouds of polluted air must inevitably consume our atmosphere. I believe there are answers, and I think I am looking into the faces of several hundred of those answers this morning.
