“A book came out recently written by scientists and environmentalists that made me so angry. It said the only thing we have to worry about is big industry. Each individual who tries to make his or her own environment better is useless. I find this criminal, because then you have a billion people all saying, It doesn't matter what I do because I'm just one person. But if you turn that around and a billion people say, What I do does make a difference, then it will make a difference.” PeopleIfsTryingPersonsDoeMadeSaidBookMatterBigsTurnsIndividualWomenDifferencesWorryEnvironmentWrittenIndustryScientistAngryCriminalsBillionsUselessJust OneMaking A DifferenceEnvironmentalist Author:Jane Goodall
“If the human species, or indeed any part of the biosphere, is to continue to survive, it must eventually leave the Earth and colonize space. For the simple fact of the matter is, the planet Earth is doomed... Let us follow many environmentalists and regard the Earth as Gaia, the mother of all life (which indeed she is). Gaia, like all mothers, is not immortal. She is going to die. But her line of descent might be immortal. . . . Gaia's children might never die out-provided they move into space. The Earth should be regarded as the womb of life-but one cannot remain in the womb forever.” IfsShouldHumansChildrenMatterFactsMightEarthMovingMotherDiesLinesSimpleSpaceForeverPlanetsWalkingMoonRegardSpeciesImmortalDoomedWombPlanet EarthDescentStar GazingEnvironmentalistHuman SpeciesBiosphereGaia Author:Frank J.
