Quote by Mike Rowe

“You must understand that all of us are in the same boat which, at times, can find itself in calm seas and at others in rough ones. Maybe you'll tell me that yours has only seen rough seas. But know this... that a boat inured in rough seas comes out stronger than one anchored in port. The latter, in the heaven it enjoys, becomes more susceptible to rot.”

“There are many more ways we can adapt. For example, instead of using up our energies harping about big farmers (whom of course we need right now to provide enough food for all of us), buy your own little patch of land to turn into an oasis of food and wildlife abundance. More and more people are doing this rather than standing around wringing their hands about global warming. Your little sanctuary will not be prone to disappear when the inevitable financial crises hit the big commercial farms.”
